1. Introduction
SCC-MPPT solar charge controller uses PWM-based DSP controller to keep the
batteries regulated and prevent batteries from overcharging and discharging.
Applying intelligent MPPT algorithm, it allows SCC-MPPT solar charge controller to
extract maximum power from solar arrays by finding the maximum power point of
the array.
The solar charge controller facilitates a standalone energy system. Typical
applications are listed below:
Mobile applications such as moving van, lodge, log cabin, or night market.
Lighting applications such as street lights, road lights, or garage lights.
Remote village with power shortage

2. Installation
Inspection
Remove the unit from the shipping package and inspect it for damage that may
occur during transportation. Notify the carrier and place of purchase if any damage
is found.
Installation Note
Read all the installation section before beginning installation
CAUTION! Careful to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the batteries. It could
spark or short circuit the batteries and could cause an explosion.
CAUTION! Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and
watches when working with batteries. Batteries can produce a short circuit current high
enough to make metal melt, and could cause severe burns.
CAUTION! Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries.
CAUTION! Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin, clothing, or eyes.
Explosive battery gasses may be present during charging . be certain there is sufficient
ventilation to release the gasses.
CAUTION! NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery.
Do not expose this charger controller to rain, snow or liquids of any type.
WARNING! Provide ventilation to outdoors from the battery compartment. The battery
enclosure should be designed to prevent accumulation and concentration of hydrogen
gas at the top of the compartment.
CAUTION! Use insulated tools to reduce the chance of short-circuit when installing or
working with the inverter, the batteries, or other equipments attached to this unit.
CAUTION! For battery installation and maintenance, read the battery manufacturer's
installation and maintenance instructions prior to operating.
Only charge Sealed Lead Acid, Vented Lead, NiCd or Gel batteries.
CAUTION! To reduce risk of injury, only use qualified batteries from qualified
distributors or manufacturers. Any unqualified batteries may cause damage and injury.
Do NOT use old or overdue batteries. Please check the battery type and date code
before installation to avoid damage and injury.
WARNING! It's very important for safety and efficient operation to use appropriate
external battery cable. To reduce risk of injury, external cables including battery cables,
PV panel cables and load connected cables should be UL certified and rated for 75° C or
higher. And strongly suggest not to use copper cables less than 12AWG. Below is the
external battery cable reference according to system requirements.
Model
Nominal Battery Voltage
Typical Current (Amp)
SCC-MPPT 300W
12 V
25 A
SCC-MPPT 600W
12V or 24 V (auto sensing)
25 A
NOTE: It's recommended to allow experienced personnel to install solar panel
because the efficiency of solar energy transmission is directly effected by
installation angles. Please follow the voltage requirement of the unit to wire
connection with solar panel and batteries.
