Solar Boost 6024HL 60Amp, 12/24V MPPT Charge ControllerPatented Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology allows Solar Boost 6024H to increase charge current up to 30% or more compared to conventional charge controllers. Don't waste money by throwing PV power away! Get the power you paid for with a Solar Boost Charge Controller.Solar Boost 6024H is specially designed to receive a high voltage 36V or 48V PV array input, and charge a 12V or 24V battery at up to 60A. A high efficiency DC-DC voltage converter combined with MPPT technology allows Solar Boost 6024H to provide a cost effective solution for installations where the PV array must be located far from the batteries and charge controller. High voltage input reduces both wiring expense and wiring power loss.Solar Boost 6024H also provide an advanced fully automatic three stage charge control system to ensure the battery is properly and fully charged, resulting in enhanced battery performance with less battery maintenance. An equalize function is also included to periodically condition liquid electrolyte lead-acid batteries.An optional user friendly digital display is available to monitor PV charge performance. Optional temperature compensation of charge voltage is also available to further improve charge control and battery performance.

E335-1/2E, CE Labeled How Do Solar Boost Controllers Increase Charge Current? Solar Boost charge controllers increase charge current by operating the PV module in a manner that allows the module to produce all the power it is capable of. A conventional charge controller simply connects the module to the battery when the battery is discharged. When the 75W module in this example is connected directly to a battery charging at 12 volts its power production is artificially limited to about 53 watts. This wastes a whopping 22 watts or nearly 30% of the available power!Patented MPPT technology used in the Solar Boost 6024H operates quite differently. The Solar Boost 6024H continually calculates the module's maximum power voltage, in this case 17 volts per module. It then operates the modules at their maximum power voltage to extract maximum power. The higher power at high voltage extracted from the modules is converted to battery voltage through a high efficiency DC-DC converter, then provided to the battery as increased charge current.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. What you can be sure of is that Solar Boost charge controllers will deliver the highest charge current possible for a given set of operating conditions
