IMPORTANT NOTE : The black wire must be terminated to chassis for the in vehicle charging
to work.
NOTE : In vehicle charging from either alternator or solar is independent of the isolator
switch position – both the DC-DC charger and MPPT solar controller are directly connected
to the Vehicle Power Hub battery.
Charging from Solar
Vehicle Power Hub has an integrated MPPT solar charge controller making solar charging easy.
TIP :
Solar will also top up and maintain the starter battery when the Hub battery is full
1. 30A MPPT Solar Charger built-in - ensure the max charging current from the solar panel or
array is not more than 30A, and open circuit voltage is not more than 25Vdc
– therefore a
12V
solar panel only
can be used (typically open circuit voltage would be around 20V to 23V)
2. Place the solar panel in direct sun
3. Using the supplied solar cable (Red/Black MC4 to Anderson) connect the solar panel with the
YELLOW port marked
“12V SOLAR INPUT”
