BZ Products MPPT500 MPPT Charge Controller, 42A, 12/24/48 VDC

MPPT 500 and MPPT 500 HV Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) PV Charge Controllers increase charge current by up to 30%. 15% current boost is common. Patent pending design squeezes the last amp from your PV array without squeezing your budget. For new installations or upgrading present systems, the MPPT 500 or MPPT 500 HV will make the difference. Conventional PWM Charge Controllers waste energy by tying the PV array directly to the battery. 20 to 30 % of your PV power is immediately wasted. The MPPT 500 and MPPT 500 HV break the PV direct connection by electronically tracking the PV array Maximum Power Point and converting wasted power into higher charge current. All at about the same cost of conventional Charge Controllers. For maximum efficiency, the MPPT 500 and MPPT 500 HV should have an input wattage of at least 100 Watts. They will operate with less input at lowered efficiency. A battery bank with a capacity of at least 100 Amp Hours is recommended.

The model MPPT 500 HV is a high performance current boosting solar control optimized for use with the Kaneka GSA211 60 watt solar panels. The MPPT 500 HV allows for input voltage conversion. This increases the Maximum Power Point voltage and allows for higher boost current over wider operating conditions. A high accuracy digital volt and amp meter displays battery voltage, photovoltaic current and battery charge current. Proper battery charging is maintained over a wide temperature range with the battery temperature sensor. Battery float voltage is accurately regulated. Night time battery discharge is eliminated through the use of a high efficiency Schottky diode. Maximum input power is 500 watts. Maximum photovoltaic input voltage is 100 VDC open circuit.
