Apollo T80 MPPT
Charge Controller

The Apollo T80 charge controller captures up to 35% more power from the photovoltaic (PV) array.
The TurboCharger™ T80 is essentially a smart DC to DC converter which has been optimized to harvest maximum energy from the PV array in battery based solar electric systems by using a variety of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) strategies. The controller’s secondary objective is to ensure that the batteries receive a full charge without becoming overcharged. This is accomplished through a five stage charging process. Built into the controller is a comprehensive data logging system which tracks battery state of charge (SOC) and power produced by the PV array.

The DC to DC converter feature allows for a wide variety of input and battery voltage configurations. Batteries may be configured from 12 to 48 Vdc nominal (12, 24, 36, and 48 are the factory default settings). PV arrays may be wired in up to 72 Vdc nominal, with the actual constraint being the maximum allowable Voc at worse case conditions, 150 Voc. (The Apollo T80 charge controller automatically shuts down above 140 Voc.) This feature allows system designers considerable flexibility with respect to wire sizing and module location.

This controller may be used in hybrid systems which have PV and wind or micro hydro generators. In these systems the auxiliary relays are utilized to control dump loads. These relays have a host of other control uses and functions and can be custom programmed to suit the system operator’s needs.

Patent Pending MPPT algorithm starts early and locks onto the peak power during rapidly changing insolation and temperature. Supports Flooded Lead Acid (FLA), GEL and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries. Four stage charging with adjustable set points for all parameters.

It is recommend that external lightning protection be installed.
