Victron EasySolar 24/1600/40-16 MPPT 100/50 – all-in-one inverter with solar controller

Victron Energy EasySolar 24/1600/40-16 MPPT 100/50 is an integrated power solution combining an inverter/charger, an MPPT solar charge controller and AC distribution in one compact enclosure. Designed for 24 V battery systems, it provides 230 V AC power from the battery bank, solar panels or an external AC source.

The combination of a MultiPlus Compact 24/1600/40 and an MPPT 100/50 reduces the number of separate components and simplifies system wiring. Built-in PowerAssist supports short-duration load peaks by adding inverter power when a grid or generator input is at risk of overload.

Connectivity and control

The inverter section provides VE.Bus communication for configuration and integration with Victron Energy systems. The MPPT controller uses a VE.Direct interface and can be connected to a GX device for system monitoring and control. The product does not include an integrated GX module; the required communication hardware is selected separately according to the installation.

The integrated temperature sensor supports accurate battery charging, while the programmable relay can be used to control external functions according to the system configuration.
