What is Mppt Solar Charge Controller?

A MPPT solar charge controller is the charge controller embedded with MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm to maximize the amount of current going into the battery from PV module.

MPPT is DC to DC converter which operates by taking DC input from PV module, changing it to AC and converting it back to a different DC voltage and current to exactly match the PV module to the battery.

MPPT solar charge controllers are useful for off-grid solar power systems such as stand-alone solar power system, solar home system and solar water pump system, etc.

Major features of MPPT Solar Charge Controller: ➢ MPPT Sukam solar charge controller is used for correcting and detecting variations in the current-voltage characteristics of solar panel.

➢ By using MPPT Sukam solar charge controller, we can use solar panel with a voltage output greater than the battery system operating voltage. ➢ It is necessary for any solar power systems required to pull out a maximum power from PV module as it forces PV module for operating at voltage close to maximum power point to with draw maximum available power. ➢ By using MPPT Sukam solar charge controller, we can use solar panel with a voltage output greater than the battery system operating voltage. ➢ System’s complexity can be reduced by using MPPT Sukam solar charge controller as it has high efficiency. ➢ It can be applied for using with multiple energy sources such as water turbines or wind-power turbines, and so on. The solar panel’s output power is used for controlling DC-DC converter directly.
