Energy Solutions (UK) Ltd, the parent company of Oceanic Systems, is a leading provider of innovative power solutions for marine and vehicle applications, has unveiled its latest breakthrough: the SmartSwitch DC4 Load Controller.

Designed to streamline DC power management, the SmartSwitch DC4 marks a significant advancement in digital switching technology.

The product has been developed with Victron and is natively supported by the Victron Cerbo GX and can be operated via the Poseidon system. The SmartSwitch DC4 simplifies wiring and enhances system control. By replacing traditional switch panels and complex wiring, it offers users a cleaner, more efficient solution. A single communication cable connects the unit to the Cerbo GX. This enables seamless, screen-based operation of DC lighting, appliances, and equipment. The unit can also be controlled remotely via Victron VRM.

Ideal for use in boats, RVs, and specialist vehicles, the SmartSwitch DC4 allows for fully customisable control and real-time load monitoring, setting a new standard for convenience and integration in DC power systems.

Take command of your 12V or 24V power system with intelligence, and ease. The SmartSwitch DC4 represents the next generation of DC power distribution, replacing cumbersome relays and complex wiring with a streamlined, intelligent control solution.

Paul Holland, Managing Director of Energy Solutions, stated, "Our development team created the SmartSwitch DC4 to allow customers to add a networked switching system that is integrated into their Victron eco-system. SmartSwitch offers one-touch, screen based, control while streamlining DC power management and wiring for our customers."

He continued, "Thanks to its simple installation and native integration with Victron systems, the SmartSwitch DC4 is ideally suited to enhance DC power setups in both marine vessels and recreational vehicles. We encourage boat builders, OEMs, and users to discover how SmartSwitch can improve their power management systems. The controls can be accessed locally - or remotely via Victron VRM."
