General Information
The RENOGY Commander MPPT controller is suitable for off-grid solar applications. It
protects the battery from being over-charged by the solar modules and over-discharged
by the loads. The controller features a smart tracking algorithm that maximizes the energy
from the solar PV module(s) and charge the battery.
The MPPT Charge Controller charging process has been optimized for long battery life
and improved system performance. The comprehensive self-diagnostics and electronic
protection functions can prevent damage from installation mistakes or system faults. In
addition, the controller is a high-end industrial class product based on multiphase
synchronous rectification technology and has features of high efficiency and reliability.

MPPT Technology
The Commander MPPT Charge Controller utilizes Maximum Power Point Tracking
technology to extract maximum power from the solar module(s). The tracking algorithm
is fully automatic and does not require user adjustment. MPPT technology will track the
array’s maximum power point voltage (V
mp
) as it varies with weather conditions, ensuring
that the maximum power is harvested from the array throughout the course of the day.
Current Boost
In many cases, the Commander MPPT charge controller will “boost” up the current
in the solar system. The current does not come out of thin air. Instead, the power
