General Instruction Thanks for choosing our products and this manual were suitable for Solar Mate series MPPT. This chapter contains important safety and operation instructions. Read and keep this User Guide well for later reference.
MPPT charge controller User Manual 1. General Safety Instruction 1.1 Safety Instruction As dangerous voltage and high temperature exist within the charge controller, only qualified and authorized maintenance personnel are permitted to open and repair it. This manual contains information concerning the installation and operation of the charge controller.
2.1 Brief Instruction 2.1.1 General Description Solar Mate is a solar charge controller with built in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology, which can optimize the PV’s output eliminate the fluctuation due to shading or temperatures variables. It tracked the maximum power point of a PV array to deliver the maximum charging current for battery, enabling PV array to increase the output by as much as 30% compared with PWM design.
