1700W Solar Battery Charger 

Maximum Power Point Tracker

Operating Instructions

Please read these instructions before use

MPPT30-2-R8

This revolutionary maximum power point tracker solar charger was designed using the 

technology that won GSL Electronics the prestigious EDN Innovation Awards 08’ and 09’ 

and the Greentech Consensus Awards 09’. A simple, compact and low cost alternative. 

Ideal for charging batteries with the new low cost and high efficiency grid type panels.

The MPPT 30-2 is designed to automatically charge 12V, 24V and 48V sealed and vented 
lead acid batteries from silicon based PV panels such as monocrystalline, polycrystalline 

and thin film. It has a built-in Load Low Voltage Disconnect configurable as a Dawn to Dusk 

switch. It can be connected to the MCM for remote control and full system parameter logging 
and display.
