Description
The Sola-Prod MPPT charge controller 15A is a solar charge controller designed to maximize the power output from solar panels. The controller uses advanced MPPT control algorithm to minimize the maximum power point loss rate and loss time, quickly tracking the maximum power point of the PV array and obtaining the maximum energy from solar modules under any condition. The controller also has limited charging power and current over rated range. When the solar panel power exceeds a certain level and the charging current is larger than the rated current, the unit will automatically lower the charging power and bring the charging current to the rated level. The controller also has multiple load work modes and TVS lighting protection.
The Sola-Prod MPPT charge controller 15A is based on advanced MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) control algorithm, with an LCD display to monitor the running status.
The MPPT control algorithm can minimize the maximum power point loss rate and loss time, quickly track the maximum power point of the PV array and obtain the maximum energy from solar modules under any condition and can increase the ratio of energy utilization in the solar system by 20 30% compared to a PWM charging method.
Limiting the charging power and reducing charging power functions ensures the system stability over PV modules in high temperature environments.With comprehensive electronic fault self-detecting functions and powerful electronic protection functions built inside the controller, component damage caused by installation errors or system failures can be avoided to the greatest extent possible.
FEATURES OF THE SOLA-PROD MPPT SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER 12/24V 15A
With the advanced dual-peak or multi-peak tracking technology, when the solar panel is shadowed or part of the panel fails resulting in multiple peaks on the I-V curve, the unit is still able to rack the maximum power point.
Advanced MPPT technology, with efficiency not less than 99.5%
Maximum DC/DC conversion efficiency of 98%

SOLA-PROD SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS:
Controller maintenance needs to be carried out at least twice a year,
Make sure the unit is firmly secured and in a clean and dry ambient,
Make sure no block on airflow around the unit. Clear up any dirt and fragments on radiator,
Check all the naked wires to make sure insolation is not damaged for solarization, friction wear, dryness, insects or rats etc. Repair or replace some wires if necessary,
Tighten all the terminals. Inspect for loose, broken or burnt wire connections. Ensure that all system components are grounded correctly,
Confirm that all the terminals have no corrosion, insolation damage, high temperature or burnt/discolored signs, tighten the terminal screws to the suggested torque,
Check and confirm that lighting arrester is in good condition.
