BRAVO LEGEND 30 — 30 Amp PWM Solar Charge Controller
The BRAVO LEGEND 30 is a 30-amp PWM charge controller with automatic 12V/24V system recognition, advanced 3-stage charging (Boost, Float, and Equalization), and five configurable load control modes for flexible load output management. A clear dot-matrix LCD with simple 2-button control gives you direct, real-time monitoring, while a rugged IP30 enclosure and comprehensive electrical protection make it a solid, full-featured PWM option for mid-size 12V or 24V off-grid systems and applications like solar street lighting.
30A PWM With Auto Voltage Detection
Automatically recognizes whether your system is 12V or 24V (manual setup is also available), supporting a rated power of 450W at 12V or 900W at 24V — a solid mid-size capacity for off-grid systems beyond a single small panel.
3-Stage Charging Across Multiple Battery Types
Boost, Float, and Equalization charging helps prevent sulfation in lead-acid batteries, with optimized profiles for Sealed, GEL, Flooded, and Lithium battery types — equalization and temperature compensation are specifically excluded for GEL and Lithium, where they aren't appropriate for the chemistry.
5 Configurable Load Control Modes
Choose from Light Control (with a 10-minute delay), Timer Control (1–14 hours), Manual, Debug, and Always ON modes — flexible load output management across a wide range of off-grid and lighting applications.
Product Overview
The BRAVO LEGEND 30 is a 30-amp PWM solar charge controller built for off-grid 12V or 24V systems that want a feature-rich, configurable PWM controller without the cost or complexity of stepping up to MPPT. Automatic 12V/24V recognition simplifies installation, with a rated power of 450W at 12V or 900W at 24V — sized for a meaningful mid-size array, including common applications like solar street lighting.
Charging runs through an advanced 3-stage process — Boost, Float, and Equalization — which helps prevent sulfation in lead-acid batteries over time. The controller supports optimized charging profiles across Sealed, GEL, Flooded, and Lithium battery types, though equalization charging and automatic temperature compensation (-3.0mV/°C/2V) are specifically excluded for GEL and Lithium batteries, where those processes aren't appropriate for the chemistry.
Load control offers five selectable operating modes: Light Control with a 10-minute delay, Timer Control selectable from 1 to 14 hours, Manual mode, Debug mode, and Always ON — covering everything from dusk-to-dawn lighting control to continuous load output. A clear dot-matrix LCD display with simple 2-button control and a memory function lets you adjust and retain settings directly at the controller. The enclosure carries an IP30 rating for dust and splash resistance, best suited to a sheltered or semi-protected mounting location rather than direct outdoor exposure, and operates from -13°F to 131°F. At 6.46 × 4.07 × 1.85 in and 0.86 lb, it shares the same compact footprint as the larger BRAVO LEGEND 40, with optional Bluetooth connectivity available.
Smart Charging That Matches Your System and Battery
- Auto 12V/24V Recognition: Detects your system voltage automatically, with manual setup also available if you prefer to configure it directly.
- Multi-Battery Support: Optimized charging profiles for Sealed, GEL, Flooded, and Lithium battery types.
- 3-Stage PWM Charging: Boost, Float, and Equalization stages help prevent sulfation in lead-acid batteries (equalization excludes GEL and Lithium).
- Temperature Compensation: Automatic voltage adjustment of -3.0mV/°C/2V based on ambient temperature, applied to all supported chemistries except Lithium.
- 450W (12V) / 900W (24V) Rated Power: A solid mid-size capacity for off-grid systems and solar lighting applications.
Flexible Load Control for Off-Grid and Lighting Use
- Light Control Mode: Activates connected loads based on ambient light, with a 10-minute delay built in.
- Timer Control: A selectable 1–14 hour run timer for load output.
- Manual Mode: Direct control over load output without automated triggers.
- Debug Mode: Useful for installation testing and troubleshooting load behavior.
- Always ON Mode: Keeps the load output continuously active.
Durable Build, Direct On-Unit Control
- Dot-Matrix LCD: Real-time system monitoring with a clear, detailed display format.
- Simple 2-Button Control with Memory: Adjust parameters directly at the controller, with settings retained through power cycles.
- Comprehensive Electrical Protection: Overcharge, over-discharge, overload, short-circuit, and reverse polarity protection.
- IP30 Rated Enclosure: Dust and splash resistant, best suited to a sheltered mounting location rather than direct outdoor exposure.
- Wide Operating Range: -13°F to 131°F covers most climate conditions for a sheltered installation.
