MPPT60-1 General Information

LED Status Indicators

Provides status updates on battery charge level via LED signals.

Green LED On: Battery Ok

Indicates the battery is in a healthy state.

Green LED Flashing: Battery Low

Signals that the battery charge is critically low.

Important Safety Warnings

Disconnecting Procedure

Mandatory PV disconnection before battery or load disconnect.

Panel Shorting Risk

Risk of MPPT damage if panels are shorted without optional diode.

Lithium Battery Requirements

Lithium batteries require built-in voltage protection systems.

Important Operating Notes

Battery Connection Requirement

MPPT must only be operated with a suitable battery connected.

Protection Enhancement

Use of MIHV or equivalent is recommended for battery and load protection.

PV System Voltage Limit

Only use PV systems with an open circuit voltage below 84V.

Qualified Personnel Installation

Equipment must be installed by qualified personnel; GSL accepts no responsibility for incorrect wiring.

Wire Gauge Recommendation

Use wires suitable for at least 80A; larger wires recommended for runs over 3m.

Installation Environment

Install in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and flammable materials.

Battery Fuse Requirement

A battery fuse (BF) is required, located close to the battery, sized for wire and load ratings.

Polarity Check

Always check battery and PV panel polarity before connecting.

Optional Diode Function

Protects against panel short and panel voltage, slightly decreasing charge current.

Minimum System Voltage

Minimum 18V for 12V systems or 36V for 24V systems for full output power.

Changing Battery Type Setting Procedure

MPPT FAQS

What is an MPPT?

MPPT is a converter maintaining PV voltage for maximum power to load/battery.

GSL MPPT Advantages

Charges from high voltage PV, offers less interference and accurate voltages.

Loads Powered by MPPT60-1

Details daily load capacity based on battery voltage and panel wattage.

MPPTs in Standalone Systems

MPPTs are becoming common due to cost-effectiveness in solar systems.

Recommended Batteries

Deep cycle batteries recommended for cyclical solar systems, min 180Ah capacity.

PV Temperature Effects

Higher PV temperatures reduce maximum power point voltage and gain.

Low PV Currents

MPPT outperforms conventional regulators above 3% of nominal panel power.

Interference and Mitigation

Minimize interference by reorienting aerials, moving equipment, or grounding.
