Solar Charge Controller

Our Solar Charge Controller is a photovoltaic charge controller that tracks the electrical maximum power point of a PV array to deliver the maximum available current for charging batteries. When charging, the SCC regulates battery voltage and output current based on the amount of energy available from the PV array and state-of-charge of the battery. 
 
The SCC can be used 12, 24,36,48,60 and 96 –volt DC battery systems and is able to charge a lower nominal-voltage battery from a higher nominal-voltage array. For example, the SCC can charge a 12-volt battery from a 36-volt array. This provides flexibility for installers to use longer wiring runs without compromising efficiency. The SCC can be installed in single or multi –unit configuration.
 
 The SCC incorporates a dynamic Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm designed to maximize energy harvest from the PV array. The MPPT constantly adjusts the operating points of the array to ensure it stays on the maximum power point. It does not stop energy harvest to sweep the array like some other competing products. This feature is beneficial all sunlight conditions, especially in areas with fast moving cloud cover and quickly changing solar conditions.   
 
Features:
 
  • True dynamic Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to deliver the maximum available power from a PV array to a bank of batteries.
  • Integrated PV Ground Fault Protection.
  • Convection cooled (no internal or external fan).
  • Selectable two or three-stage charging algorithms with manual equalization to maximize system performance and improve battery life.
  • Two-line, 16-character liquid crystal display (LCD) and four buttons for configuration and system monitoring.
  • Input over-voltage and under-voltage protection, output over-current protection, and back feed (reverse current) protection (warning and fault messages appear on LCD when unit shuts down as a protective measure).
  • Over-temperature protection and power derating when output power and ambient temperature are high.
  • Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) included − automatically provides temperature compensated battery charging.
  • Enabled network communications protocol.
  • Built in data logger.
