Lumiax smart MPPT series solar charge controller 10A
Why buy this?
- The latest MPPT “solar charge controller for boats” comes with integrated Bluetooth for easy monitoring on an Apple or Android device.
- Ideal for sheds, campervans, caravans and boats (specifically designed for boats and outdoor use with one of the highest waterproof ratings on the market of IP67 – the charge controller and electronics are fully encapsulated in epoxy resin).
- It includes load control so lighting systems and other appropriate devices can be automatically turned on/off.
Features of Solar Panel Charge Controller - Lumiax SMR-MPPT
Water resistant to IP67 making it one of the most waterproof charge controllers on the market. The “solar charge controller for boats” is fully encapsulated with epoxy (compared to other well know brands which only have a thin coating). This makes it ideal for the marine environment.
Integrated Bluetooth so the solar system can be monitored on your Apple or Android phone without needing to buy additional displays or Bluetooth modules.
High quality unit with aluminium body and heat sink which is ideal for heat dissipation.
Automatic wakeup of the battery management system in the event of a low voltage disconnect condition.
Look after your LiFePO4 batteries since it is very simple to change the charging parameters if you wish to maximise the life of your batteries. Also has optional low temperature protection.
Multiple protections including solar and battery reverse polarity, solar short-circuit, solar over-current, battery over-voltage, battery over discharge, over and under (LifePO4) temperature protection.
Very quiet due to natural cooling. It has a large aluminium surface area for a controller of this size (rather than plastic covers on other well known solar charge controllers). Alternative charge controllers have a fan which may not be ideal in a small environment like in boats, campervans or caravans.
Accreditations
Compliant with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in Electrical and Electronic Equipment.
European CE approved – assessed to meet high safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.
ISO 9001 is accreditation for companies to ensure management excellence in continually monitoring, managing and improving the quality of their products.
ISO 14001 is accreditation for organisations to clarify the best practices for reducing their environmental footprint by adopting an effective environmental management system (EMS).
MPPT vs PWM
Charge controllers are either Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) or Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). They can look identical, but have different electronics inside.
Benefits of MPPT
Increased output in partial shade conditions e.g. when there are clouds or partial shade.
More flexible design when matching with solar panels. Can be used with less expensive domestic style solar panels (higher voltage).
More efficient than PWM controllers meaning more energy from the sun being stored in the battery.
