COMMON QUESTIONS What types of batteries are compatible with this controller? The controller is compatible with Sealed, Gel, and Flooded lead-acid batteries. For lithium batteries, a specific charging program can be selected using PC software or a mobile app. How does MPPT technology benefit my solar system? MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology continuously tracks the optimal power voltage point of your solar panels, which changes with sunlight and temperature. This ensures maximum energy extraction, significantly boosting your solar system's efficiency compared to standard PWM controllers. Can I monitor the controller remotely? Yes, the controller offers multiple connectivity options. You can connect it to a remote meter (MT50), a Wi-Fi module for mobile app monitoring (Android/iOS), or directly to a PC/laptop via an RJ45 to USB cable for detailed monitoring and parameter adjustment using free software. What is the maximum solar panel power I can connect? The maximum combined solar panel input power is 130W for a 12V battery system and 260W for a 24V battery system. The controller has a 10A current limiting function. INSTALLATION NOTES Mount the controller indoors in a well-ventilated area to ensure adequate heat dissipation. Prevent exposure to moisture and do not allow any contact with water. Ensure all power connections are tight to prevent excessive heating from loose wiring. Install appropriate external fuses or breakers as recommended by the manufacturer. Always connect the battery to the controller first before connecting solar panels. BEFORE YOU BUY Confirm your battery system voltage (12V or 24V) matches the controller's auto-detection capability. Verify your total solar panel power does not exceed 130W for 12V systems or 260W for 24V systems. Ensure your solar panel open-circuit voltage (Voc) is within the controller's maximum 100V input limit. Consider if additional accessories (remote meter, Wi-Fi module, USB cable) are needed for advanced monitoring or lithium battery programming. Review the user manual for detailed wiring diagrams and operational instructions. Always verify product specifications and compatibility with your existing solar system components before purchase. This product is covered by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.
