Charge controllers or
regulators are recommended to avoid battery damage from overcharging
or deep discharge.
To
calculate the Amp rating of the regulator you need to use the equation
Amps x Volts = Watts (or Watts / Volts = Amps). An 80 watt solar panel charging a 12 volt battery should be regulated
using a solar regulator rated at 6.7A or more. The calculation is made
from 80 watts / 12volts = 6.7Amps.

The OutBack MX60 Maximum Power
Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controller enables your PV system to
achieve its very best performance. Rated for up to 60 amps of DC
output current, the MX60 can be used with battery systems from 12 to
60V DC with PV open circuit voltage as high as 140V DC. The MX60 has
fully adjustable set points that allows it to work with virtually any
battery type, chemistry and charging profile. The MX60 allows you to
use a higher output voltage PV array with a lower voltage battery.
This is important as it reduces battery wire size and power loss from
the PV array to the battery or inverter location and thereby maximizes
the performance of your PV system. The MX60 comes standard with an
easy to use and understand display of the PV system’s performance. The
four line, 80 character, back-lit LCD display is also used for
programming and monitoring of the system’s operation, including
built-in data logging with 64 days of memory. The MX60 can also be
connected to the OutBack MATE system controller and display to allow
monitoring of up to eight MX60 controllers from a location up to 1000
feet away. The MATE also includes an opto-isolated RS232 port for
connection to a PC for data logging and system monitoring.

TriStar
These powerful three-function PWM
controllers provide reliable solar battery charging, load control or
diversion regulation to divert excess power to a dump load for use in
solar, wind or hydroelectric systems. (Two or more controllers may be
used to provide multiple functions). Large heat sink enables
operation at up to 45 deg C without de-rating. 3 LED's indicate
battery status, alarms and faults. Optional LCD digital backlit
display provides system & controller information: battery voltage;
current; temperature; amp-hours and error mode.
The TriStar is
Morningstar's newest and most advanced product and is capable of
handling solar arrays up to 4kW.
Versions mount either on face of the
controller or remotely.
For use in either 12, 24 or 48V systems.
Fully adjustable with DIP switches.
