Charge Controllers are the link between the modules, battery and load. They protect the battery from overcharge and excessive discharge.

Overcharge protection is provided by a pulse-with-modulated shunt controller which guarantees quick and gentle charging of the battery (characteristic IV curve). Wear-resistant MOSFET transistors are used for the over-discharge protection in these charge controllers, whereby a maintenance-free operation with an extremely long product life is ensured. Absolutely new in this price class is a cycle charging, boost charging and a temperature compensation which are regularly integrated in these charge controllers. An LED color display gives information about voltage of the accumulator.

Models: 5.0A, 8.8A

Atonic contains a self-learning algorithm which gives detailed information on the battery’s state of charge (SOC). It adjusts itself to the battery’s age and capacity. The SOC provides a basis for all control and regulatory functions. This new type of hybrid regulator is much more efficient than conventional series and shunt regulators. The newly introduced displays give information about the SOC, and faults. A combination of electronic and electro-mechanical protection increases the safety of the charge controller.

Models: Jota (12A), Delta (20A), Theta (30A)

   

Morningstar’s TriStar Controller is a three-function controller that provides reliable solar battery charging, load control or diversion regulation. The controller operates in one of these modes at a time and two or more controllers may be used to provide multiple functions.
