Solar Charge Controllers
The job of a solar charge controller is to reformat the power from a solar array into the appropriate voltage and current to safely and efficiently charge a battery bank without overcharging it. AM Solar primarily sells Victron MPPT and PWM charge controllers. The Victron SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers are the most advanced solar charge controllers on the market. These are the best charge controllers because they can be programmed via Bluetooth to perfectly match the specifications of any RV battery bank. When installed in the same compartment as a lead-acid battery bank, these charge controllers sense the ambient temperature and can provide appropriate temperature compensation. The charge controllers can also be networked via Bluetooth to remote temperature sensor. Monitoring can be over Bluetooth or via a VE.Direct data cable connection.
In 12V RV applications, we recommend a 15A charge controller for arrays under 200W, a 30A controller for up to 450W, and a 100A controller will handle up to 1600W. When selecting a charge controller it is important that the solar panels are configured in a way that they do not exceed the open circuit input voltage limit or short circuit current limit of the charge controller.
Victron MPPT Charge Controllers
Victron MPPT charge controllers offer Bluetooth monitoring and precise programing for a wide variety of battery chemistries. Because the shell of the controller is used as a temperature sensor, the controller should be installed near the batteries.
