Morningstar's SunKeeper solar controller, rated
for 6 amp or 12 amp at 12VDC, provides a low cost regulated output
directly from the solar module to maximize battery life in small solar
power applications:
- Epoxy encapsulated and rated for outdoor use
- Designed using extremely efficient power electronics and is rated
to 70°C
- Certified
for use in Class 1, Division 2 hazardous locations, making it an ideal
controller for solar powered oil/gas applications.
High Reliability
- Rated to
70°C to operate in high temperatures at the solar module.
More reliable than controllers mounted inside the junction box. Uses
very low on-resistance power MOSFET's. No need to re-rate.
Outdoor Rated - ETL approved
for outdoor use without an additional enclosure. Rugged
IP65, UV resistant case. Epoxy encapsulated printed circuit board and
watertight connection to the module junction box.
Extensive
Electronic Protections - Fully
protected against reverse polarity, short circuit, overcurrent,
lightning and transient surges, high temperature and reverse current at
night.
Longer Battery Life - Series PWM
with 3 stage charging: bulk, PWM regulation and float.
Includes temperature compensation at the controller or alternatively at
the battery when using optional remote temperature sensor.
Able to charge a zero voltage battery.
Rated for
Hazardous Locations - Specifically
designed for solar power systems in the oil/gas industry.
Approved for use in Class 1, Division 2, Groups A,B,C,D.
More Information
- Bi-color LED
is easy to read from the ground when the solar module
is pole-mounted. Indicates solar charging, regulation, normal nighttime
operation and any controller or system faults.
Easy to Install
- Fits
standard half inch conduit knockout (PG 13.5, M20) in module
junction box. Quickly fastens with included locknut. Wires have fork
connectors for easy connection to solar module terminals.
