MPPT Charge Controller
An MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) charge controller or as it is sometimes called by internet users charge controller solar is a type of electronic device used in solar power systems installation to optimize the energy harvested from the sun through the use of solar panels. MPPT charge controller is responsible for regulating the charge flow between the solar panels and the battery power bank.
About MPPT Charge Controller
The primary function of an MPPT charge controller in the solar installation setting is to maximize the power output from the solar panels by maintaining the panels’ operating voltage at the maximum power point (MPP). Solar panels have a specific voltage at which they produce the maximum power, and this voltage varies depending on factors such as the intensity of sunlight and temperature. The MPPT solar charger continuously monitors the output of the solar panels and adjusts the load to maintain the voltage at the MPP.
By tracking the MPP, solar MPPT charge controller can extract more energy from the solar panels compared to other types of charge controllers, such as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) controllers. This enable the increase of efficiency and can result in a higher charging current and faster charging times for the solar batteries.
About Gennex MPPT Solar Charge Controller
In simple terms, Gennex Technologies MPPT charge controller is a voltage and current regulator to keep your inverter batteries or power banks from overcharging. Though this component of the solar power system is not a must like the solar panel charger or inverters, but if you want to extend the lifespan of your batteries and solar generator MPPT charge controller is what will make this happen.
Of two types of battery charge controllers: MPPT (Maximum power point tracking) and PWM (Pulse-width modulation), MPPT is by far the most efficient with a conversion rate of up to 99%.
Gennex 3kW/60A Solar Charge Controller with combined MPPT technology and DSP controller converts the best voltage to charge the solar battery.
Compared to traditional solar charge controllers, the Gennex MPPT charger allows your solar panels to operate at their optimum power output voltage, providing higher efficiency and lower power loss during the working of the solar system.
When Gennex MPPT charge controller is integrated with an inverter, solar panel(s), and external inverter battery packs, it can become a standalone solar power system to generate clean energy for your home appliances. Buy it Online
MPPT Charge Controller Main Features
Voltage and current regulation
They ensure that the battery bank receives the appropriate voltage and current during charging, protecting the batteries from overcharging or undercharging.
Data monitoring
MPPT charge controller provide monitoring capabilities, allowing users to track the system’s performance, including energy production, battery status, and other relevant parameters.
Energy conversion efficiency
MPPT controllers are designed to minimize power losses during the energy conversion process, maximizing the overall system efficiency.
Protection mechanisms
They include safeguards like overvoltage protection, short-circuit protection, reverse polarity protection, and temperature compensation to prevent damage to the system components.
What is Maximum Power Point Tracking?
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is usually digital electronic tracking in this regard. The MPPT charge controller takes a look at the output of the panels in a solar system installation, and compares it to the battery voltage. The MPPT then figures out automatically what is the best power that the panel can put out to charge the battery used for power backup in the installation. It takes this power from the panel and converts it to best voltage to get maximum AMPS into the battery for usage later.
Gennex MPPT charge controller has up 97-99% efficiency in energy conversion. MPPT function typically gives you 20 to 45% power gain during raining season (Winter) and 10-15% more power in the dry season (Summer). Be that as it may, the actual energy or power gain as a result of a good MPPT can vary depending on weather, temperature, battery, and other factors.
MPPT Charge Controller Price
The price of MPPT charge controller varies majorly because of their capacity. They come in different unit of electricity (Amp). A 20 amp MPPT is certainly cheaper than a 50 amp charger.
Currently, 60 amp MPPT charge controller price is ₦113,500
