MPPT CHARGE CONTROLLERS

T100 and T80 PV MPPT Battery Charge Management Systems

The T80 can deliver 80 amps continuous output to 12-, 24- or 48-volt battery systems from PV arrays with open circuit voltage up to 140 VDC (150 V absolute maximum voltage). Wire modules in series to use smaller wire between the array and charge controller. The T80 captures up to 35% more power from the PV array.

Their MPPT algorithm starts early and locks onto the peak power during rapidly changing insolation and temperature. The controller supports flooded lead acid (FLA), GEL and absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries. Four-stage charging with adjustable set points for all parameters.

The T80 Turbo-Charger produces full rated power without derating up to 40oC ambient temperature. Above that, the output current is reduced gradually to protect the life of the T80 and then automatically ramped up as the temperature decreases.

The T100 provides 100 amps continuous output and allows you to wire modules in series up to 200 Voc max/160 volts nominal.

High efficiency power circuits and robust thermal design minimize heat generation. The internal temperature-controlled variable speed fan runs just fast enough to maintain optimum reliability. UL Listed. Dimensions are 15.2" x 8.5" x 4.4" and weight is 22 lbs.

Both controllers include a built-in energy monitor using TriMetric technology from Bogart Engineering. The monitor tracks energy production and consumption to calculate the energy remaining in the battery. State of charge (SOC) is displayed in percent full, amp-hours, watt-hours, and bar-graph format. They store 90 days of energy-harvest history and feature a slot for add-in cards providing system performance, data communication, and firmware updates via the Apollo Solar Wireless Remote Monitoring Display,  PCs, and the Internet. Controllers do not include shunt. Order a 50mV/500A shunt on page 119 if your system doesn't have one.  Both the T80 and T100 support flooded lead acid (FLA), GEL and absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries.

Two independently programmable SPST relays can be used to control external devices based on battery voltage, charge or discharge current or battery state of charge. Contact rating is ½ amp at up to 50 VDC.

Optional wired and wireless displays are available. The RD wired display can be up to 100 feet from the controller using 4-conductor telephone cable. The RD100 wireless display can be 100 feet away from controller in buildings and 300 feet line-of-sight.  Its built-in rechargeable batteries last up to 3 months and can be recharged from 12, or 24 VDC or 115 VAC.

Optional network card allows you to stack up to 16 T80 controllers on one battery bank. Add a network card to each controller and connect with CAT-5 cables. One controller acts as a master and the others as slaves.

IPN Remote

IPN Pro-Remote
The Pro-Remote combines charge controller monitoring and battery system monitoring into a single user-friendly remote display. With the IPN-ProRemote you no longer have to guess how much battery capacity remains. A high-accuracy calculation of remaining battery capacity compensates for a variety of factors including charge/ discharge current, battery size, type, temperature and how the battery was brought back to full charge. Information learned from past battery behavior is used to continuously improve metering accuracy. The IPN-ProRemote also monitors and controls BlueSky’s IPN-based charge controllers. It can monitor both the combined total and individual status of up to eight IPN charge controllers on a single IPN network.

XANTREX CHARGE CONTROLLERS

Xantrex C-35, C-40 and C-60 PWM Controllers
PRICING & PURCHASING

The Xantrex C-35, C-40, and C-60 PWM controllers can be used as PV charge controls, DC load controls or DC diversion regulators in 12, 24 and 48* volt systems. They operate in only one mode at a time, so to provide both PV charge control and low battery load disconnect, two controls must be used. As DC load controls they disconnect the load at a user settable low voltage and reconnect at a higher voltage reconnect point. As diversion controllers they send excess power to a "dummy load" such as a water or space heater to regulate hydroelectric or wind generators.

All of the Xantrex controllers, when used as a charge control, have field-adjustable bulk and float setpoints and perform automatic equalization every 30 days or whenever LVD is reached. Equalization can be manually initiated with automatic shut-off. Order the optional temperature sensor for more accurate battery charge control.

The optional LCD Digital Display shows battery voltage, array amps and watts, cumulative amp-hours and a separately resettable "trip" amp-hour measurement. The digital display is available for mounting on the front of the charge control, or with a 50 or 100 foot cable for remote mounting in a double-gang electrical box. UL-listed.

2-year warranty.

*Only the C40 can be used in 48 volt systems.
