Votronic LCD Solar Computer S

Energy and power measuring device for the solar system

Microprocessor-controlled, the following values are measured, calculated and displayed:

• Current solar power 0 - 999 W (Watt)
• Current solar current 0 - 60.0 A (amps)
  The geographical and weather-dependent influences are immediately and unmistakably apparent. This also applies to solar orientation, partial shading or soiling of the solar modules.
• Current solar battery voltage 7 - 32.0 V (volts)
  Allows conclusions to be drawn about the battery condition (flashing warning display indicates under- or overvoltage of the battery).
• Charged solar capacity 0 - 9999 Ah (ampere hours)
• Charged solar energy 0 - 9999 kWh (kilowatt hours)
  The energy generated by the solar modules (Wh and kWh) and the capacity charged into the battery (Ah) are measured, added up and displayed, even over days and weeks. The display values can be reset individually to "zero" at any time for your own statistical purposes.

How much energy does my solar system actually deliver? Are the solar modules shaded or dirty or is something wrong? In order to be able to answer these questions, VOTRONIC offers the LCD Solar Computer S, which is simply connected to the VOTRONIC solar charge controller of the SR and MPP series and immediately provides comprehensive information.

The LCD Solar Computer S can also be connected to the controller at a later date, as the VOTRONIC solar charge controllers are already prepared for this and provide the required signals. Thus, the connection is kept extremely simple.

The measured values are shown clearly on the display and can be easily operated at the touch of a button for better control and use of the solar system. The display is backlit (switchable) and is very easy to read even from great distances and in all lighting conditions.

Matching the VOTRONIC module system, the LCD Solar Computer S is designed as a panel version and fits in with the other display modules both optically and mechanically (uniform height 85 mm). Small front panel dimensions and the particularly low installation depth of only 22 mm allow the unit to be mounted in almost any position. If the unit is not to be recessed, a suitable surface-mounted housing is available in our range of accessories. The connection to the solar controller is made ready to plug in using the 5 m long connection cable supplied, which can be extended by a further 5 m via an extension.

Note: The current version of the LCD Solar Computer S is compatible with all VOTRONIC solar charge controllers in SR and MPP technology from 2013 (serial number 13Vxx.xxxxx). For older models, please contact our technical support.

Optional accessories

The Solar Data Extendercombines the data from up to three solar controllers so that they can be shown on a single display. The familiar LCD displays (e.g. LCD Solar Computer S or VPC combination panel) can still be used. It is compatible with the following devices:

• Solar charge controllers in SR and MPP technology (from serial no. 14Vxx.xxxxx).
• Battery Charger of the type VBCS Triple
• LCD Solar Computer S (from serial no. 15V40.xxxxx)
• VPC series with solar function
• Bluetooth Connector S-BC
