Charge Controller
The model MPPT 500 is a high performance current boosting solar control. Through the use of advanced microprocessor control and a high efficiency power converter, power wasted in older PWM style solar controls is converted into higher charge current. The MPPT 500 allows for input voltage conversion. This increases the Maximum Power Point voltage and allows for higher boost current over wider operating conditions. A high accuracy digital volt and amp meter displays battery voltage, photovoltaic current and battery charge current. Proper battery charging is maintained over a wide temperature range with the battery temperature sensor. Battery float voltage is accurately regulated. Night time battery discharge is eliminated through the use of a high efficiency Schottky diode. Maximum input power to the MPPT 500 is 500 watts. Maximum photovoltaic input voltage is 100 VDC open circuit.
When power is available from the solar panel, the MPPT 500 microprocessor measures and determines the optimum operating point of the solar panel to produce the highest charge current possible to the battery. There is no interaction between the MPPT 500 and other battery charging systems. The float voltage of the MPPT 500 is calibrated to 14.1 volts. When the battery voltage reaches 14.1 volts the red Float LED turns on. At this point, charge current to the battery will gradually diminish to maintain the 14.1 float voltage. As soon as a load is turned on, maximum charge current is applied to the battery. Temperature compensation adjusts the float voltage to properly charge the battery over a wide temperature range. When the battery is warm the float voltage will drop and when the battery is cold the float voltage will rise. MPPT 500 is well suited for flooded, deep cycle and gel type batteries.Features:

Product Features
- Provides 2,500 watts peak, and 5,000 watts surge handling
- >0.5 amp No Load Draw. This is the reason to buy this inverter if your off grid. Many inverters have as much as 3amp no load draw because the fans stay on 100% of the time. This inverter only turns the fan on when it needs it, this is more efficient and increases the life of your fans as well. Save your system 2.5amps!
- Modified sine waveform outputs
- Converts 12v DC to 115v AC power
- 3 AC outlets for operating multiple devices
- Low voltage, overload and thermal shutdown protection
- Remote On/Off Capable
- Power/Amp Meter
Optional MC4 connector cable is recommended, so you can cut it in half and strip back each end to connect your panel to your charge controller.
