However, the MPPT controller can overcome the problem by adjusting the solar panel's input voltage and current in real time, realizing a maximum input power. Compared with conventional PWM controllers, the MPPT controller can make the most of the solar panel's max.

Current decreases with dwindling light Open-circuit voltage decreases with dwindling light Fig. 1-3 Relation between solar panel output characteristics and illumination With temperature dropping, current stays stable and power increases Open-circuit voltage decreases with rising temperature Fig. 1-4 Relation between solar panel output characteristics and temperature 1.5 Charging Stages Introduction As one of the charging stages, MPPT can not be used alone, but has to be used together with boost charging, floating charging, equalizing charging, etc. - Page 10 charging, sustaining charging and floating charging. The charging curve is as shown below: Time Fig. 1-5 Battery charging stages diagram a) Fast charging At the fast charging stage, as the battery voltage has not reached the set value of full voltage (i.e. equalizing/ boost When the voltage) yet, the controller will perform MPPT charging on the battery with the maximum solar power.
- Page 11 Boost charging By default, boost charging generally lasts for 2h, but users can adjust preset values of duration and boost voltage point according to the actual needs. When the duration reaches the set value, the system will then switch to floating charging. Equalizing charging Warning: risk of explosion! In equalizing charging, an open lead-acid battery can produce explosive gas, therefore...

Nor shall the controller be installed in an enclosed space where battery gas may accumulate. - Page 15 Hot air Cold air Fig. 2.1 Installation and heat dissipation Step 1: choose the installation site Do not install the controller at a place that is subject to direct sunlight, high temperature or water intrusion, and make sure the ambient environment is well ventilated.
- Page 16 Step 4: wire First remove the two screws on the controller, and then begin wiring operation. In order to guarantee installation safety, we recommend the following wiring order; however, you can choose not to follow this order and no damage will be incurred to the controller. Connecting to external temperature sampling interface ○...
- Page 17 Warning: risk of electric shock! We strongly recommend that fuses or breakers be connected at the photovoltaic array side, load side and battery side so as to avoid electric shock during wiring operation or faulty operations, and make sure the fuses and breakers are in open state before wiring.

Note: after system voltage setting, power supply has to be switch off and then on again, otherwise the system may work under an abnormal system voltage. The controller enables users to customize the parameters according to the actual conditions, but parameter setting must be done under the guidance of a professional person, or else faulty parameter settings may render the system not able to function normally. - Page 26 from damaging the controller and enter into current-limited charging. Battery reverse connection protection If the battery is reversely connected, the system will simply not operate so as to protect the controller from being burned.
