Overview

 

We are proud to offer this advanced controller from Steca Electronik; the global leader in off-grid solar electronics. All Steca controllers are able to control the entire energy flow in any power system, whilst ensuring optimal battery maintenance. German design, engineering and manufacturing ensure unrivalled standards of quality and efficiency.

This Steca Tarom S-Type 60A MPPT charge controller sets unprecedented standards in the field of Maximum Power Point trackers. With two independent MPP trackers and two inputs, this MPPT controller can easily handle two different solar module arrays of varying sizes.

The controller is designed to protect batteries whilst charging them, providing automatic cut off to prevent over-charging and deep discharge. It comes with an automatic electronic fuse and a full range of electronic protection functions, including protection against: overload, short circuit, high voltage, reverse polarity, high temperature, lightning and transient surges, reverse current at night.

Several of these Steca Tarom MPPT controllers can be linked in a single network to enable system expansion at a later date. Please note, in a large system with multiple Tarom MPPT controllers connected to the same battery bank, one controller must be the M-Type model, to enable effective communication amongst the S-type controllers and synchronisation of the charging process.

Other key features include:

  • Extremely high reliability, with an integrated self-test function and a long 5 year warranty
  • Unique MPP trackers that work constantly at high efficiency ratings of up to 99%
  • Compatible with all lead acid batteries, e.g. AGM / Gel / flooded.
  • Automatic data logging of energy values for 20 years and an easy to use LCD display

 

This solar charge controller is suitable for solar panels with a maximum power of up to 850W (12V battery bank), 1700W (24V battery bank) or 3400W (48V battery bank) and is also compatible with 36V or 60V batteries by activating advanced settings in the expert menu.
