Revision as of 21:06, 2 December 2016

The BlueSolar series of charge controllers are some of the latest and most efficient MPPT controllers available. The BlueSolar 100-15 controller is based on a Freescale MC9S08AC32 40MHz MCU, can handle up to 100V 15A PV installation, hence then model name. This allows up to 400W of PV on a 24V battery setup, which is pretty much for such a relatively small controller.

Specs

  • Type: MPPT charge controller with load output
  • Micocontroller: Freescale MC9S08AC32 40Mhz MCU
  • Switches: MOSFET N-channel 100V/180A/5mOhm, 40V/190A/2.5mOhm for load output
  • Max. PV voltage: 100V
  • Max. PV current: 15A
  • Max. load current: 15A
  • Battery voltage: 12V or 24V, auto-detect
  • Battery fuse: 20A blade fuse
  • Protection: Over-voltage, over-temperature (buck converter), low-battery voltage cut-off, battery management
  • Terminals: screw terminals, max. 6mm2/10AWG
  • Monitoring: Two LEDs, remote VE Direct RS232 communication cable to a computer or meter device
  • Auxilary port: JST-PH 4-pin 2mm pitch connector, pinout GND-RX-TX-5V
  • Firmware: Upgradable via VE Direct RS232 cable and software
  • Size: 113.9 x 100.7 x 46.9 mm
