This MPPT charge controller will handle up to watts for 12 volt systems, or watts for 24 volt systems. This controller is ideal for those of you that got those high voltage panels at a great price and then found out it was not a volt panel.

This is the ideal controller for many small systems where the cost of one of the large MPPT controllers is not justified. Because the bulk voltage set point is determined by the type of battery you are using, many charge controllers have to be pre-set to the type of battery which will dictate the rate of charge. After a battery system has been brought up to the bulk voltage set point, the charge controller slows down the charge rate because the battery bank cannot accept the same rapid charging pace without overheating and damaging the battery bank.

The absorption charge is the function level in the process that tops off the battery bank. During the absorption stage, the charge controller holds the battery volts constant and reduces the amount of current sent into the battery. When the absorption stage is complete, the battery bank is fully charges. The final step the MorningStar charge controller performs is the float charge.

Typically a charge controller enters into a float charge state when the other charge levels of the battery bank has been achieved.

When the number of peak sun hours is limited, a solar charge controller may not be able to get the battery bank back to the float stage before the next cycle begins.

OK, here is the scary legal disclaimer. This product is designed for indoor or protected compartment installations. Use insulated tools to reduce the chance of electrical shock or accidental short circuits. Remove all jewelry such as rings, watches, bracelets, etc when installing the MorningStar Charge Controller or any other electronic gear. Always disconnect the batteries or energy source prior to installation or performing maintenance on the MorningStar charge controller inverter.

Live power may be present at more than one point since an inverter utilizes both batteries and AC electricity. Traditional controllers connect the solar module directly to the battery when recharging. Because traditional controllers do no operate at the Vmp of the solar array, energy is wasted that could otherwise be used to charge the battery and power system loads.

The greater the difference between battery voltage and the Vmp of the module, the more energy is wasted. TrakStar MPPT technology will always operate at the Vmp resulting in less wasted energy compared to traditional controllers. Please, tell us what you think about it.
