From Your PV Modules And Batteries
 
• 40 amp 12V or 30 amp 24V rating supports
a wide range of applications
 
Solar Boost 3024iL’s advanced fully automatic 3-stage charge control system will properly charge  fooded lead-acid, AGM and GEL batteries resulting in improved battery performance with less maintenance. The dual 30/40 amp rating will deliver at up to 30 amps in 24 volt systems, or up to 40 amps in 12 volt systems. An automatic or manual equalize function is also provided to periodically condition  fooded lead-acid batteries. To further enhance versatility, a user con gurable auxiliary output and Blue Sky Energy’s advanced IPN™ network interface are also included. • Auxiliary output serves as 20 amp
load controller or 2 amp battery charger
 
• Load controller provides fully adjustable
dusk to dawn lighting control
 
• IPN network interface coordinates multiple
controllers & shares optional battery
temperature sensor & display
The user con gurable auxiliary output can serve as either a 20 amp load controller, or as a 2 amp auxiliary battery charger. Theload control feature can be used to limit excessive battery discharge in unattended remote systems, whereas the auxiliary battery charge feature is ideal for charging a separate battery such as the engine battery in an RV.  e auxiliary output can also provide fully adjustable dusk to dawn lighting control.  
• Optional IPN-ProRemote display provides
complete charge control & battery system
monitoring, eliminating the need for a
separate battery monitor device
 
• 3-Stage charge control with filtered
Blue Sky Energy’s advanced Integrated PowerNet™, or IPN Network, allows up to 8 IPN capable charge controllers to communicate with each other and operate as a single machine rather than separate charge controllers.  e IPN network also allows networked controllers to share an optional battery temperature sensor and remote display.  e IPN network does not require a display or other special communication hardware to operate. PWM output & auto/manual equalization
improves battery performance & life
 
• MPPT power converter can charge
12 volt batteries from 24 volt PV modules
 
• Durable powder coat finish & conformal
coated electronics resist corrosion
 
• Full 5 year limited warranty
 
• Battery temperature sensor input
How Do Solar Boost™ Controllers Increase Charge Current?
Solar Boost controllers increase charge current by operating the PV module in a manner that allows the module to produce all the power it is capable of. A conventional charge controller simply connects the module to the battery when the battery is discharged. When the 75W module in this example is connected directly to a battery charging at 12 volts its power production is arti cially limited to about 53 watts.  is wastes a whopping 22 watts or nearly 30% of the available power!
Patented MPPT technology used in Solar Boost controllersoperates in a very di erent fashion.  e Solar Boost controller continually calculates the module’s maximum power voltage, in this case 17 volts. It then operates the module at its maximum power voltage to extract maximum power.  e higher power
extracted from the module is then provided to the battery in the form of increased charge current. In conditions where extra PV power is not available, Solar Boost controllers will operate as a conventional controller with very low voltage drop.
The actual charge current increase you will see varies primarily with module temperature and battery voltage. In comfortable temperatures, current increase typically varies between 10 to 25%, with 30% or more easily achieved with a discharged battery and cooler temperatures. What you can be sure of is that Solar Boost charge controllers will deliver the highest charge current possible for a given set of operating conditions.
