optimum working point on the I-V curve in an extremely short time.

The product boasts an optimum MPPT tracking efficiency of up to 99.9%.

Advanced digital power supply technologies raise the circuit's energyconversion

efficiency to as high as 98%.

Charging program options are available for different types of batteries includinggel

batteries, sealed batteries, open batteries, lithium batteries, etc.

The controller features a limited current charging mode. When the solar panel power

exceeds a certain level and the charging current is larger than the rated current, the

controller will automatically lower the charging power and bring the charging currentto

the rated level.

Instantaneous large current startup of capacitive loads is supported.

Automatic recognition of battery voltage is supported.

LED fault indicators and an LCD screen which can display abnormality information

help users to quickly identify system faults.

Historical data storage function is available, and data can be stored for up to a year.

The controller is equipped with an LCD screen with which users can not only check

device operating data and statuses, but also modify controller parameters.

The controller supports standard Modbus protocol, fulfilling the communication needs

of various occasions.

The controller employs a built-in over-temperature protection mechanism.When

temperature surpasses the set value, the charging current will decline in linear

proportion to the temperature so as to curb the temperature rise of the controller,

effectively keeping the controller from being damaged by overheat.

Featuring a temperature compensation function, the controller can automatically adjust

charging and discharging parameters in order to extend the battery's service life.
