Grape Solar MPPT-45 Solar charge controller User Manual Specification: Model GS-MPPT-45 GS-MPPT-60 Battery voltage 12V/24V/36V/48V 12V/24V/36V/48V Charging current Max. voltage of solar panel 150V array Dear users: Thank you very much for choosing our products! Please read the manual carefully before using our controllers.
1. Safety Attention: The input voltage is high, so please read the instructions before operation and please do not operate the controller before training. Warning: The operation is dangerous; please observe proper safety precautions before operation. Attention: The operation can damage or destroy equipment. Reminder: Suggestions and hints to the operator.
3.Charging introduction. The full name of MPPT is maximum power point tracking. It is an advanced charging algorithm which can detect the real-time power of the solar panel and the maximum point of the I-V curve that make the highest battery charging efficiency. Contrasted with the traditional PWM controller, an MPPT controller can adjust the maximum power point of the solar panel so that a larger charging current could be supplied.

"12-volt" panels when applied to a 12 volt battery system. This controller functions best with series strings of two to five "12 volt" panels, or one to three "24 volt" panels. Grape Solar does not recommend the use of this controller with a single "12 volt"...
8. Installation instructions. 1. Loosen the four screws and open the panel (picture 1). 2. Please take away the baffles of the front or side wiring holes, take out the plastic cable pass-throughs, and install them in the wiring holes. 3.
Bat- Bat+ 【 Picture 4 】 7. Power on. Battery short circuit is prohibited; do not touch the solar panel or the bare port of battery wiring. Choose the cable, do not exceed the current density of 4A/1mm, please make sure the wiring is correct. Do not reverse connect the wire, leave an air switch between battery and controller or between solar panel and controller, open the battery air switch after completion of above job, and then open the solar panel air switch;...
When the PV power exceeds the rated power, controller will limit the PV power under the value of rated power so as to prevent the controller from being damaged, the controller will charge by limited current. 3. Battery reverse connection protection Battery reverse connection will not damage the controller but the system will stop working.
