Common Questions What is MPPT technology and why is it beneficial? MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology optimises the power output from your solar panels by continuously adjusting the operating point to extract the maximum available energy. This results in significantly higher efficiency compared to traditional PWM controllers, especially in varying weather conditions or when panel voltage is higher than battery voltage. Can this controller be used with lithium batteries? Yes, this controller is compatible with lithium batteries. To enable this, a specific lithium battery charging program must be selected using the provided PC software or a mobile application. Always ensure your battery's BMS (Battery Management System) is compatible with the controller's charging parameters. How can I monitor the system remotely? The controller offers multiple connectivity options for remote monitoring and parameter adjustment. You can connect it to a remote meter with an LCD screen, a Wi-Fi module for a free mobile app, or directly to a PC/laptop via a USB cable and free computer program. These methods provide access to detailed system data and settings. Is it possible to expand the solar system in the future? Yes, this controller features a current limiting function (60A) and parallel connection capability. This allows for the addition of more solar panels or identical controllers in the future to increase your system's charging capacity, provided the battery bank can accept the combined current. Installation Notes Ensure adequate ventilation around the controller; a minimum of 150mm clearance above and below is recommended for proper airflow. Always connect the battery to the controller first before connecting solar panels to ensure correct system voltage recognition. Use appropriate wire sizes for solar panels and battery connections to minimise voltage drop and ensure safe operation. Refer to local regulations and the user manual for guidance. This controller features negative common grounding. Ensure proper grounding practices are followed according to your system design and local electrical codes. Before You Buy Verify your total solar panel array power and voltage (Voc and Vmp) are within the controller's specified limits (up to 3000W / 150V). Confirm your battery bank voltage (12V, 24V, 36V, or 48V) matches the controller's auto-detection range. For lithium batteries, ensure you have the necessary PC software or mobile app for programming the charging profile. Consider any additional accessories needed for remote monitoring, such as a remote meter, Wi-Fi module, or USB cable. Review the detailed user manual for comprehensive wiring diagrams and operational instructions. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications and user manual for precise installation, operation, and compatibility details. This product is covered by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.
