Smarten Prime+ MPPT Solar Charge Controller – Price & FAQs

If you are using a normal inverter and want to convert it into a solar inverter then Smarten Prime+ MPPT Solar Charge Controller is for you. All you have to do is install Solar Panels and connect them to your existing UPS via Smarten Prime+.

This Smarten MPPT solar charge controller converts an existing inverter into a solar hybrid inverter. The prime series is basically an MPPT PCU kit that extracts all the available energy from solar panels.

Smarten Prime+ MPPT charge controller also works as a voltage and current regulator that prevents your batteries from deep discharging. It performs controlled discharges, depending on the battery technology, in order to protect the battery life. It also protects your solar panels.

How to install Smarten Prime+ MPPT Charge Controller?

• Step 1: Locate the Smarten Prime+ MPPT unit away from batteries in a well-ventilated compartment.
• Step 2: Mount the Controller to a vertical surface. Allow space above and below the controller for airflow.
• Step 3: It is recommended that connections be made in order from 1 to 6.
• Step 4: Connect the battery first. Use care that PVC wires do not touch the metal case of MPPT.
• Step 5: Connect the Solar PV wires as per the standard of solar installation (Conductor size in Sq.mm/wire length etc.).
• Step 6: Connect the inverter mains cord to the PCU kit output.

NOTE

**The charge controller required approx. 15 second of continuing transition value before it starts to work.
**Make sure the PV and load currents will not exceed the ratings of the require current.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs

What is the use of a solar charge controller?

A solar charge controller regulates the amount of charge delivered to batteries. If there was no solar charge controller and the solar energy made by panels was getting directly to the batteries then that could result in the bursting of batteries or premature failure of batteries. You must have read in papers that owing to the excess charge given to batteries by cheap and bad quality controllers costed lives as the battery burst.

Another important function of a solar charge controller is to maintain the flow of current in one direction only i.e. from solar panels to batteries. Otherwise, during nighttime, the charge could flow in opposite direction from batteries to panels which could ruin your costly panels.

Do you need a charge controller for solar panels?

Not always, but usually. Generally, there is no need for a charge controller with small maintenance, or trickle charge panels, such as the 1-5 watt panels. A rough rule is that if the panel puts out about 2 watts or less for each 50 battery amp-hours, then you don’t need one.

How do I choose a solar charge controller?

1. Voltage Selection: Select a charge controller that is compatible with the system voltage. The standard configurations are 12, 24, and 48 volts. If you are wiring your batteries for 24 volts you need a charge controller that is rated at 24 volts.
2. Current Capacity: Select a charge controller that can handle the maximum output current of the solar panel (or solar array).
