Why use a Solar Charge Controller?
A solar charger gathers energy from your solar panels, and stores it in your batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximises this energy-harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life.
The SmartSolar charge controller will even recharge a severely depleted battery. It can operate with a battery voltage as low as 0 Volts, provided the cells are not permanently sulphated or otherwise damaged.
Features
Bluetooth Smart built-in – The wireless solution to set-up, monitor, update and synchronise SmartSolar Charge Controllers.
VE. Direct – For a wired data connection to a Color Control GX, other GX products, PC or other devices.
Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) – Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT controllers.
Internal temperature sensor – Compensates absorption and float charge voltage for temperature.
Full discharged battery recovery function – Will initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts. Will reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with integrated disconnect function.
