Hi-Efficiency MPPT Solar Charge Controller

Written June 11, 2006

Misled

I was mislead about this controller, it was supposed to down convert from a solar array wired to a higher voltage than the battery bank. I happily wire 4 kc 125's in series (48 volt) to charge my 24 volt batteries. At full sun the controller showed it was putting 8.8 amps in my batteries half of what it should have been! I hard wired an ammeter in line to the batteries, it agreed.

So, I rewired the whole dang array to 24 volt (something that would have been ALOT easier to do on the ground at the start) it now gives me 16 amps 24 volts to my batteries which is good. DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS CONTROLLER DOWN CONVERTS AT RATED AMPS!!!!

One more thing, the BZ website is useless, don't even look for information there.
