Solar Charge Controller Regulator, 2880 W Max Power

Description

Overview

This solar regulator, also called a solar charge controller, sits between your panels and the rest of the system and keeps the power under control. It is rated for a maximum power of 2,880 W, which covers a small to mid-size off-grid array.

Sizing is straightforward: keep the total panel wattage at or below 2,880 W, and match the regulator to your panel and battery voltage. We have not listed the voltage and current ratings on this page, so ask us for them before you order if you are adding it to an existing array. One call saves a return trip to a remote site.

Key features

• Rated for 2,880 W maximum power
• Regulates the power from your solar panels
• Suits small to mid-size off-grid installations
• Sold in our solar pump range for farm and borehole systems
• Ask us for voltage and current ratings to match your array

Where it works

On a farm, a regulator like this keeps solar power under control for batteries and loads at a remote borehole, a pump shed or a gate motor, so that load-shedding does not stop the water. It also suits lodges, clinics and cattle posts in Limpopo, the Northern Cape and the Karoo that run off-grid. Pair it with the hybrid solar pump inverter for a 4 inch borehole motor, or fit the well probe where a 3HR or 3HRI controller is used. More kit is in the solar pump range.
