1.4 Maximum Power Point Tracking Technology

The MPPT controller can detect the generation voltage of the solar panel in real time and track the
maximum voltage and current value (V-I), so that the system can charge the battery with the maximum
power output.
Under the assumption that the conversion efficiency of the system is 100%, the following formula is
established.

Input Voltage(VMpp)* Input Current (IPV)=Battery Voltage (VBat)*Charge Current (IBat)

Normally, the VMpp is always higher than VBat, Due to the principle of conservation of energy, the IBat is
always higher than IPV. The greater the discrepancy between VMpp &VBat, the greater the discrepancy
between IPV&IBat. The greater the discrepancy between array and battery. This is also the simplest way to
distinguish whether the real MPPT controller.
As the Figure shown below, is the maximum power point curve, the shadow is the working range of the
PWM controller, it can obviously diagnose that the MPPT mode can improve the usage of the solar
energy resource. According to our test, our company's MPPT controller can improve the utilization of solar
array 20%~60% ( The efficiency may be dirfferent due to the environment.)

Maximum Power Point Curve

In actual application, as shading from cloud, tree and snow, the panels may have multiple MPPT points,
but there is only one real Maximum Power Point. As the below Figure shows:

7
 Mutil-MPP Curve
If there are multiple MPPT points, if there is no good algorithm, it will lead to work on the unreal MPPT
point. Our product can track the actual MPP point quickly and accurately, improve the utilization of array
energy and avoid the waste of resources.

1.5 Battery Charging Stage

The controller have 3 stages charge mode, Constant Current Charging(Bulk Charging), Constant
Voltage Charging(CV) and Floating Charging(CF) for rapid, efficient, and safe battery charging.

Battery Changing Stage Curve

a) Constant Current Charging_CC(Bulk Charging)

8
 In this stage, the battery voltage has not yet reached constant voltage (Constant or Boost Voltage), the
controller operates in constant current mode, delivering its maximum current to the batteries (MPPT
Charging).
b) Constant Voltage Charging_CV( Constant and Boost Charging)
When the battery voltage reaches the constant voltage set point, the controller will start to operate in
constant voltage charging mode, this process the charging current will drop gradually. The constant
charge voltage will increase 0.2V on the basis of constant voltage at 1st of each month, charge time is 60
mins. ( The data of boost charge voltage can be set via PC software and APP)
c) Floating Charging_CF
After the constant voltage stage, the controller will reduce charging current to maintaining the battery
voltage on the Floating Voltage set point. Charging the battery with a smaller current and voltage on
Floating Voltage stage, while maintaining full battery storage capacity.
In Floating charging stage, loads are able to obtain almost all power from solar panel.If loads exceed
the power, the controller will no longer be able to maintain battery voltage in Floating charging stage. If
the battery voltage remains below the Recharge Voltage, the system will leave Floating charging stage
and return to Bulk charging stage.

3.2 Serial connection (string) of PV modules

As the core component of PV system, controller could be suitable for various types of PV modules and
maximize converting solar energy into electrical energy. According to the open circuit voltage(Voc ) and
the maximum power point voltage(VMpp ) of the MPPT controller, the series number of different types PV
modules can be calculated. The below table is for reference only.

NOTE: The above parameter values are calculated under standard test conditions (STC (Standard
Test Condition): Irradiance 1000W/m2, Module Temperature 25℃, Air Mass 1.5)

3.3 PV Array Input Total Power

This MPPT controller has a limiting function of charging current, the charging current will be limited
within rated range. Therefore, the controller will charge the battery with the rated charging power even if
the input power at the PV exceeds. Such as: for 12V Solar System with 30A controller, no matter the input
power of the solar panel is greater than the rated number, the charging current will not be more than 30A.
The actual operation power of the PV array conforms to the conditions below
1) PV power ≤ controller rated power, the maximum power of the controller is equal to the actual power
of the PV array.
2) PV power > controller rated power, the maximum charge power of the controller is equal to the rated
power. If the PV array higher than rated power, the charging time at rated power to battery will be longer,
more energy to battery yields. Meanwhile, it will waste the power under the fierce sunshine due to the
limitation of current.
Note: for the rated power of different types of products, please refer to the technical parameters form.

3.4 System Voltage and Battery Type

1) The controller can charge the DC12V, DC24V, DC36V and DC48V batteries. The controller
recognised the system according to the voltage of the first connected battery and reidentified after the
power failure was restarted. Therefore, please confirm whether the LCD display system is consistent with
the actual system when starting, otherwise, it is necessary to recheck the battery voltage.
Note:battery group detailed system identification voltage please refer to the technical parameters table!
2）The controller has been set up to charge 3 kinds of conventional battery parameters for the following
forms. If you need to charge for other special batteries, please choose "User" type, then set up by PC
software or APP. (parameters is in 12V system at 25℃, please use double value in 24V.)

Battery type Constant voltage Floating voltage

11
 Sealed 14.4V 13.8V
Gel 14.2V 13.8V
User (setting) C(9V~15V) F(9V~15V)

3.5 DC Load Output Voltage and Max. Discharge Current

The controller has DC LOAD output function, and its output voltage range is the same as the battery
group. If the battery's voltage is 25.2V, then DC can output a voltage of 25.2V at this moment.

3.6 Specifications for Cables and Breakers

The wiring and installation methods must conform to all national and local electrical code requirements.
PV array specification of Wiring
Since PV array output can vary due to the PV module size, connection method or sunlight angle, the
minimum wire can be calculated by the Isc of PV array. Please refer to the value of Isc in PV module
specification. (When the PV modules connect in series, the Isc is equal to the PV module's Isc. When the
PV modules connect in parallels, the Isc is equal to the sum of PV module's Isc. )
And in order to facilitate the opening and closing of the machine and safety, it is recommended to install
the circuit breaker. Please refer to the specification selection of the next table wire and circuit breaker.
