Ethan 24V 48V 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controller Price

On May 12, 2020 0

Solar charge controller is an advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking battery charger for Photo-Voltaic (PV) systems. The controller features a smart tracking algorithm that maximizes the energy harvest from the PV and also provides load control to prevent over-discharge of the battery.

Adding Solar PV is the logical way to extend the back up hours and reduce electricity bills- but must be done the right way. Add too little PV Watts-the Solar addition does not really serve the purpose of long back up. Size up your day time loads and add at least enough Solar PV to take care of day time loads. However, here is the nub, if you add enough Solar PV to take care of day time loads, the power available from the PV panels can exceed the safe charge rate to the batteries.

When the energy from the Solar panels are servicing the loads or when both the sources of energy (Solar and Grid through the Inverter) are charging the batteries, the charge current to the batteries can be higher than what is safe for the batteries. With its unique NET CURRENT to battery monitoring and control MPPT ensures that the charge rate to the batteries is maintained at all times within its safe limits, preventing premature failure of the batteries.
