Solar power controller Esolar

What types of solar charge controllers are available?

We feature a wide range of both MPPT and PWM solar charge controllers. See the BlueSolar and SmartSolar Charge Controller MPPT - Overview. In our MPPT model names, for example MPPT 75/50, the first number is the maximum PV open circuit voltage. The second number, 50, is the maximum charge current.

What is a smart solar charge controller?

SMART SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER: Solar charge the smart way with the Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT charge controller, to ensure that every ray of available sunlight is converted into usable energy, while optimizing battery longevity.

Are PWM solar charge controllers good?

PWM solar charge controllers are quite cheap, and ideal for small-scale PV systems. Since these charge controllers operate at an efficiency of 75-80%, they can produce 25-20% power losses to the system. How do MPPT solar charge controllers work?

What are the features of a solar charge controller?

Below, we’ve listed several key features of a solar charge controller: Flow of power:A solar charge controller manages the flow of power from a solar panel to a backup battery, preventing too much energy from flooding the battery. This can drastically reduce the life of the battery.

How much does a solar charge controller cost?

The price range of an MPPT solar charge controller is between $70 and $600. At the higher end of this range, you’ll get a larger controller that can handle higher voltages, and at the lower end, you’ll get a less powerful MPPT solar charge controller. PWM solar charge controllers tend to be less expensive, ranging from $15 to $40.

How does a solar charge controller work?

This gadget regulates the power flow between the solar panel and the battery, ensuring that the battery remains at a consistent state of charge. Since solar panels produce different amounts of electricity depending on factors such as weather conditions, the charge controller ensures that excess power doesn't damage the batteries.
