Charge Controllers –
PWM
and MPPT
A charge
controller is an electronic voltage regulator, used in off-grid
systems and grid-tie systems with battery backup, that controls
the flow of power from the charging source to the battery. The
charge controller automatically tapers, stops, or diverts the
charge when batteries become fully charged. Some charge
controllers have metering and data logging capability
to show system operation
parameters and battery charge status. Some have low battery load
disconnect to prevent over-discharge and some have built-in
light controls to turn on lights at night.
Charge controller capacities ranges from 4 amps to 80 amps and
multiple charge controllers can be used in parallel for larger
systems. The simplest charge controllers turn off the charge
when the battery reaches a voltage near full charge, and turn it
on when the voltage drops about one volt.
Pulse width modulated (PWM) charge controllers turn on an off
very rapidly, holding the batteries at full charge, making
better use of available power.
Maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) charge controllers take power from the
charging source at a voltage where it can put out the most power
(its maximum power point) and convert that to the correct
voltage to charge the battery. This technique significantly
increases the power from a solar array, especially when
batteries are discharged, battery voltage is low, and the
temperature is low causing the maximum power point voltage of
the solar modules to be high. Most MPPT charge controllers can
take an array voltage much higher that what is required by the
batteries, allowing the use of modules with higher peak power
voltage, designed for grid-tie use. A higher voltage solar array
also allows smaller wire to be used between the array and the
charge controller, which can save wire and installation cost in
large systems. Maximum power point tracking allows a PV array to
deliver up to 30% more power to a battery than it would if it
were connected directly to the battery. |

Charge Controllers –
PWM
and MPPT
A charge
controller is an electronic voltage regulator, used in off-grid
systems and grid-tie systems with battery backup, that controls
the flow of power from the charging source to the battery. The
charge controller automatically tapers, stops, or diverts the
charge when batteries become fully charged. Some charge
controllers have metering and data logging capability
to show system operation
parameters and battery charge status. Some have low battery load
disconnect to prevent over-discharge and some have built-in
light controls to turn on lights at night.
Charge controller capacities ranges from 4 amps to 80 amps and

Maximum Power Point Tracking
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) allows a PV array to
deliver up to 30% more power to a battery than it would if it were connected
directly to the battery. This type of charge control costs more, but under
certain conditions can be very cost-effective. A 20% power increase on a
1000-watt PV array is like getting 200 additional watts. A photovoltaic (PV)
array is a constant current device. The current (amps) from a PV module
remains relatively constant over a wide range of voltage. For example a
typical 75-watt module delivers 4.45 amps at up to 17 volts when the sky is
clear and temperature is cool. Traditional PV controllers connect the PV
array directly to the battery until it reaches a full charge voltage. When
this 75-watt module is connected directly to a battery in a low state of
charge it will begin charging at 12 volts. The PV panel still provides about
the same current, but, because PV output voltage is lower, it can only
deliver 53 watts to the battery. This wastes up to 22 watts or 30% of the
available power. MPPT charge controls use this extra voltage to boost
charging amps to the battery. Outback and Blue Sky charge controls also
allow the use of an array voltage higher than the nominal battery voltage so
smaller wire may be used.
Since the battery voltage rises when charging and the
maximum power point of the PV module falls as it warms up, a 10 to 20%
increase is more realistic. MPPT charge controls are most effective in cool
climates and/or when the PV array is charging batteries that are at a low
state of charge.

T100 and T80 PV MPPT Battery Charge Management Systems
PRICING & PURCHASING
The T80 and T100 Charger Controllers integrate maximum power point
tracking, battery charge management, state-of-charge information and
communications into a single device.
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
PRICING & PURCHASING
The IPN Remote display provides basic monitoring for IPN compatible
charge controllers. The unit displays battery voltage, output current and
charge controller system status for up to 8 charge controllers on a single
IPN network.
An LED display is used to provide readability in any lighting. The
charge status indicator displays present charge controller system status and
shows relative battery state-of-charge. When the battery is being
charged the display toggles between battery voltage and charge controller
output current. The current display can be configured to show the total
output current from all controllers on the IPN network, or the output
current from a particular controller. Multiple IPN-Remote displays can be
placed on a single IPN network even if an IPN-ProRemote is already present.
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.

The IPN Remote display provides basic monitoring for IPN compatible
charge controllers. The unit displays battery voltage, output current and
charge controller system status for up to 8 charge controllers on a single
IPN network.
An LED display is used to provide readability in any lighting. The
charge status indicator displays present charge controller system status and
shows relative battery state-of-charge. When the battery is being
charged the display toggles between battery voltage and charge controller
output current. The current display can be configured to show the total
output current from all controllers on the IPN network, or the output
current from a particular controller. Multiple IPN-Remote displays can be
placed on a single IPN network even if an IPN-ProRemote is already present.
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.

only convection cooling, without the need for a fan. Built-in PV ground
fault protection allows SKU -compliant installation without the need for
additional ground fault protection. The XW-MPPT60-150 can be mounted on the
side or top of the XW power distribution panel, or used by itself in other
PV systems. The front panel features a 2-line 16-character display and four
buttons for configuration and system monitoring. A battery temperature
sensor is included with the controller.
The XW-MPPT60-150 is able to communicate its settings and activity to
other Xanbus-enabled devices, such as the XW Series inverter/charger, the
system control panel II (SCP), XW automatic generator start (XW-AGS), and
other Xantrex XW-MPPT-60-150 solar charge controllers through the Xanbus
network.
Array size can be up to 750 watts when charging a 12-volt battery,
1,500 watts when charging at 24 volts and 3,000 watts when charging at 48
volts. See the Xantrex array sizing tool at

Steca
Controller
PRICING & PURCHASING
The SunWize–Steca controller uses an advanced control algorithm that
sets new standards for solar charge technology. The state-of-charge
algorithm combines battery temperature, battery voltage, and load discharge
rate to determine the true battery state of charge (SOC). The controller’s
memory of discharge patterns enables the controller to know the degree of
battery sulfation. This allows even greater accuracy towards determining
true battery SOC. The self-learning controller automatically adjusts for the
capacity and age of the battery. The resultant battery SOC is displayed
within a 10% accuracy range. The patented hybrid regulator design combines
both series and shunt technology for nominal power consumption. Maximum wire
gauge for terminal: 4 AWG.
The Tarom features adjustable set points that are stored in the
controller's memory. Available Tarom options are an external data logger,
external shunts for measuring current and a remote temperature sensor.
Other options include control modules that load shed or PV shed
based on the battery SOC that is communicated with the controller over a DC
data bus.
Two-year warranty.
Options...
• Audible buzzer fault condition warning alarm (not available with the LCD
display)
• Opto-isolated fault condition warning alarm that can beconnected to any
analog input monitoring device (not available with the LCD display)
Other Features Include:
• TUV and UL recognized component
• Automatically adjusts for 12 V or 24 V system
• Automatic battery equalization can be disabled when using gel or AGM type
lead-acid batteries
• Protection against over temperature, battery overvoltage, module
overcurrent, and load overcurrent
• Low voltage disconnect and a low voltage warning
• Tricolor information LED and tricolor “SOC” LED annunciating controller
status, errors, and battery SOC
• IP 22 (NEMA 12) protection
• Operating temperature range is -25° C to +50° C
