High Voltage Input
80 Amp MPPT Battery Charge Management System

200 Volt maximum PV open circuit voltage

The T80HV is the only MPPT charge controller that works with the newer higher voltage PV modules. Specifically, the Sanyo HIT 200 modules have Vmp of 51.75v at 50°C which will not charge a 48 volt battery, but they generate up to 79.88 volts open circuit at -40°C. Two of these modules in a series string will generate 103 volts at Vmp, but the Voc is almost 160 volts which will destroy all the 140/150 volt charge controllers. The T80HV is designed to operate up to 200 Voc and 160 Vmp and works with the Sanyo HITs.

FEATURES
  • Wire the PV modules in series up to 200 Voc max 160 volts nominal
  • Optimized Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) captures 35% more power from your PV array
  • Easy stacking of up to 16 T80HV's in parallel for higher currents
  • 80 Amps continuous output at up to 45°C (113°F) ambient temperature
  • Built-in Battery Energy Monitor using TriMetricTM Technology
  • TriMetric is a trademark of Bogart Engineering, Inc.
  • Precision charging of 12/24/36/48V batteries with one-minute set-up and Fail-safe calculated defaults
  • Optional Apollo Solar T80 Wireless Remote Display 100', Apollo Solar T80 Wireless Remote Display 300' & Computer Link with PC software

 

Power and Control in a Single Device
The T80HV TurboChargerTM integrates Maximum Power Point Tracking, battery charge management, state of charge information and communications into a single device. With 80 Amps continuous output, the has the largest capacity in the industry by over 35%.

Optimum MPPT and Charging Efficiency
The T80HV captures up to 35% more power from the photovoltaic (PV) array. Our Patent Pending MPPT algorithm starts early and locks onto the peak power during rapidly changing insolation and temperature.

Energy Monitor Built In
The T80HV includes a built-in Energy Monitor using TriMetricTM Technology from Bogart Engineering.   It tracks power production and consumption to calculate the energy remaining in the battery.   State of Charge (SOC) is displayed in Percent Full, Amp-hours, Watt-hours and bar graph format.     In addition, 90 days of energy harvest history is stored in the T80HV.

Continuous Rating to 45° C
 The T80HV TurboChargerTM produces full rated power without de-rating up to 45°C ambient temperature.  Above that, the output current is reduced gradually to protect the life of the T80 and then automatically ramped up as the temperature decreases.  High efficiency power circuits and robust thermal design minimize heat generation.   The internal temperature-controlled variable speed fan runs just fast enough to maintain optimum reliability.

Enhance Battery Performance and Life
Supports Flooded Lead Acid (FLA), GEL and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries. Four stage charging with adjustable set points for all parameters.

Unequalled Communications
The on-board RS-232 and slot for optional add-in cards provide data communication to Remote Readouts, PCs and the Internet. System performance can be monitored remotely and the T80 accepts software upgrades from a PC.

Reduce System Costs
Our efficient MPPT technology dramatically reduces the cost of a PV system by reducing the number of PV panels required, eliminating the need for heavy gauge wiring, and increasing the life of the storage batteries.
