Key benefits Flexible load control: choose the operating method that fits your system — closed (switch) mode, pure light-control mode, or combined light-control + timer mode to match lighting and load schedules. Broad battery compatibility: works with lead-acid, gel, ternary lithium (NMC), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) and other common battery chemistries so you can use the battery type you prefer. Battery-safe charging for lithium types: an activation routine plus voltage-stabilized charging prevents controller crashes and protects individual battery cells, increasing long-term reliability. Reliable power supply: if the battery cannot power the controller, the unit will draw operating power directly from the photovoltaic array to keep control functions running. Higher solar yield: a fast maximum-power-point-tracking (MPPT) algorithm finds the PV array’s optimal operating point in changing conditions and continuously captures maximum module energy to improve overall system efficiency. What this product does for you Simplifies system setup by offering selectable load modes to match outdoor lighting, timed loads, or simple on/off control without additional hardware. Protects modern lithium batteries with activation and stabilized charging routines so cells are less likely to be damaged by improper charging behavior. Maximizes harvested solar energy in real time with MPPT, improving available runtime and reducing wasted panel output. Key functions and attributes Load control modes: closed (switch) mode; pure light-control mode; light-control plus timer mode. Battery compatibility: lead-acid, gel, ternary lithium (NMC), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), and other common battery types. Lithium battery features: specific activation function and voltage-stabilized charging to prevent controller failure and protect cells. Power redundancy: controller draws operating power from PV when battery is unavailable. MPPT performance: fast maximum power point tracking to obtain maximum module energy in real time and improve solar utilization. Practical applications Solar street or area lighting: use light-control or light-control + timer modes to automate dusk-to-dawn lighting and reduce energy waste during low-demand hours. Off-grid residential systems: pair with LiFePO4 or ternary lithium battery packs to ensure safe charging behavior and continuous controller operation even if the battery is offline. Mobile and remote power setups (RV, boat, remote cabins): benefit from MPPT efficiency and selectable load modes to manage lighting and auxiliary loads reliably. Why customers choose this controller Versatile control options for a range of lighting and load scenarios. Designed to protect lithium battery packs and prevent controller instability. Real-time MPPT increases usable energy from solar panels. Works with multiple battery chemistries so you can standardize on the best battery for your application.
