This solar controller could have killed us !

They don’t know how they survived !

The unit definitely caught on fire at some point !


Ah well he got his Victron Freebies in the end .

I always thought Photonic universe equipment was pretty good . So over dramatic.

I wonder who did the install ? Mr Gadget I bet !

It's just a rebranded epever unit, I have fitted 20+ of the epever ones and have 320w running into my current one, never had a problem but you can always get a duff one of anything

Or after 2 years after installation things can go wrong in a van , wiring can become loose , exposed , shorts can be more likely. I just thought it was harsh to blame the unit and to say it was “ up in flames “ is over dramatic and is likely to damage the companies reputation.

Seem to be overreacting or possibly just over acting. As the controller is in a metal box it's unlikely to do more than put out some smelly smoke. Surprised the fuses didn't blow but 40A could produce a lot of heat.

Sorry . I did think after I posted it you might get worried .

Was it the controller that failed, or was it the installation that failed?

Either way, I'm not watching, just more clickbait!
