solar energy installation TanzaniaThe Victron Wall Mount Enclosure (ASS050600000) is a very practical accessory for anyone building a solar/battery/inverter/monitoring system using Victron components (CCGX + BMV or MPPT). It doesn’t offer any “electrical” functionality by itself, but what it does offer — neatness, protection, ease-of-installation, integration — can significantly improve the usability, safety, and professionalism of your setup.
Features & Benefits
- Dual-Device Mounting Design : Securely holds both the Color Control GX and a BMV-700 series or MPPT Control unit, creating a unified and tidy control panel for your power system.
- Professional Wall-Mounted Layout : Provides a clean, organized installation that enhances the appearance of off-grid, marine, or industrial energy setups.
- Durable ABS Construction : Built from high-quality, impact-resistant material that performs well in demanding environments, including heat, vibration, and humidity.
- Easy Surface Installation : Designed with pre-set mounting points, allowing quick and hassle-free mounting on walls or control boards without custom fabrication.
- Improved System Monitoring : Centralizes solar, battery, and inverter monitoring for faster access, easier maintenance, and safer daily operation.
- Compact Space-Saving Design : Ideal for tight spaces such as small cabins, telecom rooms, boats, service vehicles, and off-grid homes.
- Compatible with Victron Ecosystem : Precisely engineered for the CCGX, BMV-700 series, and MPPT Control, ensuring perfect fit and wiring clearance.
- Enhanced Equipment Protection : Keeps monitoring devices secure and protected from accidental bumps, wiring strain, and environmental exposure.
- Installer-Friendly Build : Helps technicians deliver clean, consistent, and professional installations, adding value to customer energy systems.
- Reliable for Tanzania’s Off-Grid Market : Well-suited for homes, businesses, and marine applications in Tanzania where neat and durable energy monitoring solutions are essential.
Use Cases
- Off-grid or solar power systems: For homes, cabins, or remote installations without stable grid power — one may install a solar charge controller + battery monitor + central display (CCGX) — this enclosure helps create a neat control panel.
- Solar + Battery + Inverter/Charger setups: Systems using Victron inverters/chargers + batteries + MPPT solar charge controllers — the enclosure houses the monitoring/control units in a safe, accessible way.
- Marine / Boat electrical panels: On boats or yachts — where space is limited, wiring needs protection, and exposure to moisture or vibration is a risk — using marine-grade housing for monitoring displays is very useful.
- RVs, Caravans, Campervans / Mobile Power Systems: For people building mobile homes, off-grid vans, or caravans with solar + battery systems — wall-mounting the control displays inside a cabin or panel gives a neat, accessible control station.
- Industrial or Remote Installations: In workshops, remote cabins, field stations, telecom shelters, or any place where power monitoring and control is needed but infrastructure for flush mounting is limited.
- Upgrades/Retrofits: If upgrading an existing system, where flush-mounting panels is difficult, the enclosure offers a quick way to mount new Victron displays without major modifications.
Value Propositions
- Improved reliability & protection in harsh conditions: Considering dust, humidity, heat, possible wiring issues — a robust enclosure ensures the sensitive electronics (controllers, battery monitors) get some level of environmental protection.
- Professional, organized system installations: Whether for small off-grid homes, solar-powered clinics, telecom sites, caravans, boats, or remote stations — having a clean, wall-mounted control panel elevates reliability and makes maintenance easier.
- Flexibility for varied systems: Many installations may mix components — battery monitors, solar controllers, inverters — having a standard enclosure compatible with different monitor/control units simplifies procurement and standardizes installations.
- Ease of retrofitting / expansion: As power needs evolve (e.g. adding more solar panels, batteries, inverters), it’s simpler to integrate additional monitoring devices inside the same enclosure rather than redesigning the installation.
- Cost-effective upgrade accessory: Compared to building a custom box or panel, buying a ready-made enclosure from a reputable brand like Victron reduces installation cost and time — good for small businesses, installers, or DIY projects.
Local Market Positioning in Tanzania
- Growing Demand for Off-grid / Solar + Battery Solutions: Many users in Tanzania or nearby regions rely on solar + battery systems (for homes, remote cabins, small businesses). Having a neat control panel for battery/inverter/solar is valuable; this enclosure fits that need well.
- Need for Durable Hardware: Given environmental conditions (heat, dust, humidity), a proper enclosure made by a reputable brand adds reliability and longevity versus makeshift solutions.
- Modular & Professional Build Quality: For installers or small solar companies, offering a clean, professional installation helps — makes maintenance easier, aesthetic better, and adds perceived value — useful if reselling or offering installation services.
- Compatibility with Victron Ecosystem: Many users are adopting Victron components (inverter-chargers, MPPT controllers, battery monitors, GX controllers). For such users, this enclosure offers a ready-made mounting solution, rather than improvising.
- Export / Import Friendly: As a compact accessory (small size, light weight), easier for shipping/import compared with bulky inverters or battery hardware — cost and logistics are favorable.
Technical Specification
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Wall mount enclosure to house a display/control panel: one GX-class controller (e.g. Color Control GX or VE.Net Blue Power Panel GX) plus one BMV battery monitor (e.g. BMV-700 / BMV-702) or one MPPT Control panel. |
| Mounting Style | Wall / Surface mount on a flat vertical surface (wall or panel) |
| Material | Durable plastic — high-quality ABS (suitable for marine / industrial / mobile environments) |
| Certification / Standards | Listed under Remote Panels & accessories for inverters/chargers/battery chargers by Victron — via official datasheets. |
| Intended Installation Environments | Indoor/outdoor-sheltered: marine (boats / yachts), vans / RVs / campervans, off-grid solar installations, battery/inverter control panels in homes or small businesses, industrial mobile installations. |
| Material | High-quality ABS plastic (marine-grade / durable plastic), suited for installation in harsher environments (boats, vehicles, off-grid setups). |
| Professional finish & neat wiring | Because it is a dedicated enclosure, it helps produce a clean, finished look — better cable management, safer mounting for DC equipment and avoidance of ad hoc or makeshift mounting. |
| Flexibility & modularity | Since many installations (boats, off-grid, solar, hybrid systems) combine a GX controller with battery monitors and MPPT controllers, this enclosure helps modularize the control/monitoring panel in a compact space. |
