Description
30 A MPPT, lithium and lead-acid compatible — the controller most of our systems use. An MPPT controller holds the panel at its optimum point and converts the surplus voltage into extra charging current, instead of throwing it away. It takes up to 400 W on a 12 V system, which covers the great majority of van and motorhome installations.
Key points
- Lithium and lead-acid in one unit —, and it recovers noticeably more energy than a PWM controller once the array voltage sits well above the battery., this one is happy with LiFePO4. If you are running lithium, start here.
- 400 W at 12 V, 800 W at 24 V — sized for a real installation, not a trickle charger.
- Where MPPT actually wins: cold, bright conditions and a low battery — precisely when you are short of power. On a hot afternoon with a full battery the difference is small; that is not when it matters.
- RS485 communication and full protection set — PV reverse, battery reverse, overcharge and short circuit.
