Programmable Charge Controller

Hi!

I work for a research institute and we want to experiment with a small off-grid PV/battery system and a DC load.

I am looking for a charge controller which I can program easily to execute the experiments.
Is it possible to program a Victron charge controller to charge or discharge the battery according to variations from the PV power?

For example, if there is a fast drop in PV power, the battery starts discharging to the load. Or if there is a fast rise in PV power, the battery stops discharging and the PV panels start powering the load again.

Thank you for your time,
Ana

Hi Ana,

If I understand your question correctly, this is the only options available on a load connected directly on a MPPT, if that MPPT has a Streetlight function:

Hope this helps.

Regards
Jaco
