The OutBack Power Systems MX60 Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controller
enables your PV system to achieve its highest possible performance.
Rated for up to 60 amps of DC output current, the OutBack MX60 can be used
with battery systems from 12 to 60 vdc with PV open circuit voltage as high as
125 vdc. The MX60's setpoints are fully adjustable to allow use with virtually
any battery type, chemistry and charging profile.
The OutBack MX60 allows you to use a higher output voltage PV array with a
lower voltage battery - such as charging a 24 vdc battery with a 48 vdc PV
array. This reduces wire size and power loss from the PV array to the
battery/inverter location and can maximize the performance of your PV system.
The OutBack MX60 comes standard with an easy to use and understand
display of the PV system’s performance. The four line, 80 character, backlit
LCD display is also used for programming and monitoring of the system’s
operation.
Note: For optimal Maximum Power Point Tracking performance, it is recommended that MPPT charge controllers be used in conjunction with uniform solar arrays consisting of multiple, identical solar panels. MPPT charge controllers will still work with mixed arrays, but at reduced efficiencies, which defeats the whole point of MPPT technology. These devices were designed to calculate the most efficient charging characteristics given the assumption of a uniform array. Mixed arrays, by definition throw this calculation off. |
