SOLAR CHARGER POWER SHARE
Where a DC power system has energy inputs both from AC mains supply (or AC generators) and solar, then the
EC500 must share the load power between these sources. Generally, the preferences are for the load to be
supplied from the alternative energy source first, and take energy from AC only when there is not enough solar
energy. This is done by increasing the solar charger rectifier voltage slightly. Generally 0.5V difference is
maintained between Solar Charger voltage and rectifier output voltage. The following example explains how
this works.
Float mode:
Solar charger rectifiers make 54.0V and AC rectifiers make 53.5V.
Charging mode:
Solar charger rectifiers make 55.2V and AC rectifiers make 54.7V.
Solar chargers share maximum load by tracking MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) point from solar panel.
