Maximum Power Point Tracking Increases Charge Current Up To 30% Or More!

Patented Maximum Power Point Tracking technology allows Solar Boost 3024Di to increase charge current up to 30% or more compared to conventional charge controllers. Don’t waste your money by throwing PV power away! Get the power you paid for with a Solar Boost 3024i charge controller.

Solar Boost 3024i provides an advanced fully automatic 3-stage charge control system to ensure the battery is properly and fully charged, resulting in enhanced battery performance with less maintenance. An automatic or manual equalize function is also provided to periodically condition flooded lead-acid batteries. To further enhance versatility, a user configurable auxiliary output and Blue Sky Energy’s advanced IPN™ network interface are also included.

The user configurable auxiliary output can serve as either a 20 amp load controller, or as a 2 amp auxiliary battery charger. The load 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.

Blue Sky Energy’s advanced Integrated Power Net™, 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. The IPN network also allows networked controllers to share an optional battery temperature sensor and remote display. The IPN network does not require a display or other special hardware to operate.

*- Nominal PV module voltage must be greater than or equal to nominal battery voltage. PV VOC rating at STC should not exceed maximum controller rating ÷1.25. See Technical Bulletins 100214 & 100210. Typical 12V nominal PV module provides VMP≈17V & VOC≈21V at STC. ** - Approximate maximum PV power handling capability after applying NEC 1.25 current derating. See Technical Bulletins 100214
