GP-MPPT Solar Controller 20-85: Overview & Specifications

Overview & Specifications

 

Overview

 

A Solar Controller (or Charge Controller / Regulator) is an essential component of your photovoltaic solar system. The Controller maintains the life of the battery by protecting it from overcharging. When your batteries have reached a 100% state of charge, the Controller prevents overcharging by limiting the current flowing into the batteries from your solar array.

 

The GP-MPPT-85/20 is a photovoltaic (PV) charge controller intended for use at 12 or 24 VDC system voltage and is rated for a nominal charge current of 20 amps.

 

The GP-MPPT-85/20 uses Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology and a unique three stage charging algorithm.

 

The GP-MPPT-85/20 is suitable for use with lead acid batteries.
