Apollo Solar T80HV High Voltage TurboCharger MPPT Charge Controller
T80HV High Voltage TurboCharger MPPT Charge Controller
High Voltage Input, 80 Amp MPPT Battery Charge Management System
200 Volt Maximum PV Open Circuit Voltage
The T80HV is the only MPPT charge controller that works with the newer higher voltage PV modules. Specifically, the Sanyo HIT 200 modules have Vmp of 51.75v at 50°C which will not charge a 48 volt battery, but they generate up to 79.88 volts open circuit at -40°C. Two of these modules in a series string will generate 103 volts at Vmp, but the Voc is almost 160 volts which will destroy all the 140/150 volt charge controllers. The T80HV is designed to operate up to 200 Voc and 160 Vmp and works with the Sanyo HITs.
Free Energy Monitor Built In
The T80HV includes a built-in Energy Monitor using TriMetric Technology from Bogart Engineering. The monitor tracks power production and consumption to calculate the energy remaining in the battery. State-of-Charge (SOC) is displayed in Percent Full, Amp-hours, Watt-Hours, and Bar- Graph format. In addition, 90 days of energy-harvest history is stored in the T80HV.
Power and control in a Single Device
The T80HV TurboCharger integrates Maximum Power Point Tracking, battery charge management, state-ofcharge information, and communications into a single device.
Enhanced Battery Performance and Life
The T80 supports Flooded Lead Acid (FLA), GEL and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries. Four-stage charging with adjustable set points for all parameters.
Optimum MPPT/Charging Efficiency Cuts Costs
The slot for optional add-in cards provides data communication to Wireless Remote Displays, PCs and the Internet. System performance can be monitored remotely and the T80HV accepts software upgrades using a PC and the Remote Display SD Card.
Continuous Power Rating Up to 45°C/113°F Ambient
The T80HV TurboCharger produces full-rated power without de-rating at up to 45°C ambient temperature. Above that temperature, the output current is reduced gradually to protect the life of the T80HV and then automatically ramped up as the temperature decreases. High-efficiency power circuits and robust thermal design minimize heat generation. The internal temperature-controlled variable speed fan runs just fast enough to maintain optimum reliability.
Integral Performance-and-Update Communications
The slot for optional add-in cards provides data communication to Wireless Remote Displays, PCs and the Internet. System performance can be monitored remotely and the T80HV accepts software upgrades using a PC and the Remote Display SD Card.
