dedicated to the solar system, the controller conversion efficiency up to 98%.

It comes with a number of outstanding features, such as:MPPT profileThe full name of the MPPT is maximum power point tracking. It is an advanced charging way which could detect the real-time power of the solar Modulel and the maximum point of the I-V curve that make the highest battery charging efficiency. Current Boost Under most conditions, MPPT technology will "boost" the solar charge current. MPPT Charging：Power Into the controller (Pmax)=Power out of the controller (Pout) Iin x Vmp= Iout x Vout* Assuming 100% efficiency. Actually, the losses in wiring and conversion exist. If the solar module's maximum power voltage (Vmp) is greater than the battery voltage, it follows that the battery current must be proportionally greater than the solar input current so that input and output power are balanced. The greater the difference between the Vmp and battery voltage, the greater the current boost. Current boost can be substantial in systems where the solar array is of a higher nominal voltage than the battery as described in the next section.2, Overview2.2 MPPT2

An Advantage Over Traditional Controllers Traditional PWM controllers connect the solar module directly to the battery when recharging. This requires that the solar module operate in a voltage range that is usually below the module's Vmp. In a 12 Volt system for example, the battery voltage may range from 10.8-15 Vdc，but the module's Vmp is typically around 16 or 17V.Because traditional controllers do not always operate at the Vmp of the solar array, energy is wasted that could otherwise be used to charge the battery and power system loads. The greater the difference between battery voltage and the Vmp of the module, the more energy is wasted. High Voltage Strings and Grid-Tie ModulesAnother benefit of MPPT technology is the ability to charge batteries with solar arrays of higher nominal voltages. For example, a 12 Volt battery bank may be charged with a 12-, 24-, 36-, or 48-Volt nominal off-grid solar array. Grid-tie solar modules may also be used as long as the solar array open circuit voltage (Voc) rating will not exceed the maximum input voltage rating at worst-case (coldest) module temperature. The solar module documentation should provide Voc vs. temperature data. Higher solar input voltage results in lower solar input current for a given input power. High voltage solar input strings allow for smaller gauge solar wiring. This is especially helpful and economical for systems with long wiring runs between the controller and the solar array.

Generally speaking, the controller's energy utilization efficiency is 15%~20% higher than PWM controller. Conditions That Limit the Effectiveness of MPPT The Vmp of a solar module decreases as the temperature of the module increases. In very hot weather, the Vmp may be close or even less than battery voltage. In this situation, there will be very little or no MPPT gain compared to traditional controllers. However, systems with modules of higher nominal voltage than the battery bank will always have an array Vmp greater than battery voltage. Additionally, the savings in wiring due to reduced solar current make MPPT worthwhile even in hot climates.

2.3 MPPT—Four Charging Stage MP series controller has a 4-stage battery charging algorithm for rapid, efficient, and safe battery charging.MPPT ChargeIn this stage, the battery voltage has not yet reached boost voltage and 100% of available solar power is used to recharge the battery. Boost ChargeWhen the battery has recharged to the Boost voltage setpoint, constant-voltage regulation is used to prevent heating and excessive battery gassing. The Boost stage remains 120 minutes and then goes to Float Charge. Every time when the controller is powered on, if it detects neither over discharged nor overvoltage, the charging will enter into boost charging stage. Float ChargeAfter the Boost voltage stage, the controller will reduce the battery voltage to Float voltage setpoint. When the battery is fully recharged, there will be no more chemical reactions and all the charge current transmits into heat and gas at this time. Then the controller reduces the voltage to the floating stage, charging with a smaller voltage and current. It will reduce the temperature of battery and prevent the gassing, also charging the battery slightly at the same time. The purpose of Float stage is to offset the power consumption caused by self consumption and small loads in the whole system, while maintaining full battery storage capacity. In Float stage, loads can continue to draw power from the battery. In the event that the system load(s) exceed the solar charge current, the controller will no longer be able to maintain the battery at the Float setpoint. Should the battery voltage remains below the boost reconnect charging voltage, the controller will exit Float stage and return to Bulk charging. Equalize ChargeCertain types of batteries benefit from periodic equalizing charge, which can stir the electrolyte, balance battery voltage and complete chemical reaction. Equalizing charge increases the battery voltage, higher than the standard complement voltage, which gasifies the battery electrolyte. If it detects that the battery is being over discharged, the solar controller will automatically turn the battery to equalization charging stage, and the equalization charging will be 120mins. Equalizing charge and boost charge are not carried out constantly in a full charge process to avoid too much gas precipitation or overheating of battery. WARNING: Risk of explosion! Equalizing flooded battery can produce explosive gases, so well ventilation of battery box is necessary.U(V)MPPT ChargeBoostChargeFloatChargeEqualizeChargeNightTIME13.7V14.5V14.8VNight
