Street Light Controller

Microcare MPPT Street Light Controller utilizes PWM and integrated technology to provide greater than 97% efficiency from your solar panels. The actual charge current increase you will see varies primarily with module temperature and battery voltage. In comfortable temperatures, current increase typically varies between 10 to 25%, with 30% or more easily achieved with a discharged battery and cooler temperatures. The controller has a pin selectable battery low voltage cutout. The turn on time for the load is programmable. The factory setting is On at dusk and Off at dawn. The controller can be programmed for ½ hour, 1 hour or 1.5 hours after dusk or before dawn operation.

 

What you can be sure of is that the Microcare MPPT charge controller will deliver the highest charge current possible for a given set of operating conditions. The ability to step down a high voltage solar array to a low voltage battery can save you money by reducing the size of the cable required and making the installation simpler and faster.
