Features
Fully Protected
- Thermal overload protection and temperature compensation
- Equipped with a short circuit disconnect function
Flexible Design
- Works in 12 or 24V systems (automatic battery voltage detection)
- Use as a stand alone 40A controller or as part of a modular (MPM) system
Maximized Charging
- Charges your battery faster by taking excess PV voltage and converting it into additional charge current
- Highest charging efficiency in low irradiation conditions
AdditionalFeatures
- Maximum Power Point Tracking technology increases the efficiency of your PV system
- Less expensive solar panels for grid-feed-in systems can now be used for 12/24 V off-grid systems
- Electronic protection (reverse polarity, overcurrent, short-circuit, overtemperature)
- High efficiency
- DIN rail compatible
- Negative grounding
Product Description
With innovative maximum power point tracking technology, Phocos’ MPPT 100/40 ensures optimal performance from your solar array at all times and in all weather conditions. The MPPT can yield an energy gain from your PV array (up to 30%).
When a central unit (MCU) is used, up to 8 MPPTs can be used to charge the same battery bank. This allows you to increase your system charging capacity substantially and makes MPPT100/40 and ideal solution for systems up to 9.6 kWp.
The temperature-compensated three-stage I-U curve charge algorithm significantly extends the lifespan of your battery.
The possibility to use less expensive grid-feeding solar panels with up to 95 V open circuit voltage for 12 V or 24 V stand-alone systems will significantly reduce the cost of the total system.
