General Information

 

2.1 Overview 

The RENOGY MPPT series controller is suitable for off-grid solar applications. It 
protects  the  battery  from  being  over-charged  by  the  solar  modules  and  over-
discharged by the loads. The controller features a smart tracking algorithm that 
maximizes the energy from the solar PV module(s) and charge the battery. At the 
same  time,  the  low  voltage  disconnect  function  (LVD)  will  prevent  the  battery 
from over discharging.  

The MPPT20CC controller charging process has been optimized for long battery 
life and improved system performance. The comprehensive self-diagnostics and 
electronic protection functions can prevent damage from installation mistakes or 
system  faults.  In  addition,  the  MPPT20CC  controller  has  a  RJ45  interface  to 
allow  communication  with  a  meter  for  remote  monitoring.  The  MPPT20CC  has 
the following features:

 

  12V / 24V auto recognition.   

  Advanced maximum power point tracking technology to optimize the use 

of the PV

 

system.   

  Peak conversion efficiency of 97 %, high Tracking efficiency of 99%.   

  Fast sweeping of the entire I-V curve, several seconds tracking speed.   

  Widely used, automatic recognition of day and night.   

  Timer function with 1-15 hour option for streetlight.  

  Unique dual timer function; enhance the flexibility lighting systems.   

  Sealed, Gel and Flooded battery option.  

  Adopting  temperature  compensation  and  correcting  the  charging  and 

discharging

 

parameters automatically, improving battery lifetime.   

  Electronic protection: Overcharging, over-discharging, overload, and short 

circuit.  

  Reverse protection: Any combination of solar module and battery, without 

causing

 

damage to any component.   

  Excellent thermal design and natural air-cooling. 

  RJ45  interface  for  use  with  the  remote  meter  MT-5,  convenient  to  check 

operating parameters of

 

controllers.   

Although the MPPT20CC controller is very simple to configure and use, please 
take  your  time  to  read  the  operator's  manual  and  become  familiar  with  the 
controller. This will help you make full use of all the functions and improve your 
solar PV system.
