NOTE
WARNING
The Rover Boost is designed to automatically utilize MPPT technology to boost wasted power
into usable charge current.
The following represents typical modules and their properties. Depending on how many solar
panels you are combining, appropriate series or parallel connections will be needed to achieve
the maximum power of the charge controller. Series connections will connect positive to
negative and add up the voltage, while the current remains the same. The controller will utilize
excess voltage and convert it into useable current. Parallel connections will connect positive to
positive on one side and negative to negative on the other side resulting in the voltage
remaining the same while the current adds up, thus increasing you net input current power.
The following chart represents the operating Voc range for panels respective to the battery
bank voltage. This information is found in the technical specifications for panels or in the solar
panel sticker. The Rover Boost features a power limiting clipping function, where the power is
limited within a specified range, and therefore allows the battery to charge at correct
parameters despite the oversized input power.
Ring terminals are recommended for the input and output connections of the Rover
Boost.
NOTE
This chart represents typical values found with the respective cells on the solar
modules. Actual values might differ depending on the manufacturer.
Failure to abide by the chart may result in damage to your system or system
components. Please pay close attention to your solar panel specifications when
connecting them to the controller.
WARNING
Not compatible with 72 cell PV Modules.
WARNING
The Rover Boost may be permanently damaged if exceeding the Max PV Power
w/ Power Limiting.
