What is an MPPT Charge Controller?
An MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) charge controller is a DC-to-DC converter that maximizes the power output from the solar panels by tracking and adjusting the voltage and current to ensure that the battery is charged at the most efficient rate. By converting the higher voltage output from the solar array into a lower voltage suitable for charging the battery, it optimizes energy flow and enhances the efficiency of the entire solar system.
With the EG4 MPPT100-48HV, you can enjoy the benefits of a high-efficiency, easy-to-integrate solar charge controller that significantly improves the performance of your solar power system while keeping costs down.
