DC Input (CH2 – Solar / PV):
PV Input Voltage Range 14.5 - 45V
PV Input Under Voltage Shutdown 14.5V
PV Input Under Voltage Recovery 15.0V
PV Input Over Voltage Shutdown 45V
PV Input Over Voltage Recovery 44V
PV Charging Mechanism MPPT type ( approx. 97% eciency)
Maximum Input 500W *See note
*Note: The recommended maximum solar wattage input for the DC2DC Charger is 500w.
You can however “overdrive” the MPPT controller. Please note that doing this is partially
an economic decision. You can install more power than the controller can use and this will
contribute to better power availability. Enerdrive suggest a total maximum overdrive of
20% (total 600w). On cloudy (or intermittent sunny) days there will be little or no power
shaving and the extra power will serve the battery well with more energy harvest earlier
and later in the day.
