| Our
latest innovation in solar charge controllers, the SunSport series.
Tough, easy to install and practically indestructible.
This high performance solar charge controller increases battery
life by preventing overcharging. Overcharging can cause corrosion
and buckling of the lead plates, increased battery water loss and
excess hydrogen gas.
The control also prevents power loss back into the solar modules
at night, so an external blocking diode is not required.
Unique no battery drain - Battery standby power consumption is
zero! In the dark they use absolutely zero power, ideal for PV systems
where efficiency is important. Boaters can leave it connected all
winter without draining the batteries. Some other controls which
have a standby current draw will drain the battery over the winter
with no solar input, reducing the freeze protection of the battery.
Efficient Design – our latest innovation; automatic nighttime shutdown
with an intelligent design results in the controller using 1/10th
the power of the industry average. Other controls stay on all night,
wasting precious power. Save up to 10% more power from a 5 Watt
module.
Safer - SunSport controls have more built in protection and safety
features than any others on the market. They feature automatic over-temperature
shutdown, protection from battery removal conditions, over-current,
solar and battery reverse polarity, short circuit and over-voltage
protection of the inputs and outputs. We are the first to combine
all of these safety features into one controller. In remote applications,
there is no need to worry about accidentally damaging the controllers.
SunSport 10 Marine - Marine option specifically designed for boats
charges two isolated batteries from one panel. Completely sealed
for protection from the harsh salt water environment. The SunSport
Marine control is rated for 10 amps.
Models: SS10, SS10M (Marine dual charge option)
