New XTRA series - 3rd Generation MPPT

For 12V Solar System: 260W solar panel (100V for max input voltage)
For 24V Solar System: 520W solar panel (100V for max input voltage)

No Fan for silent operation, great for vans, boats or any live in spaces

With built in LCD advanced display and programming screen (XDS2)

New XTRA series has Lithium battery support

​The XTRA tracer models have a current limiting function, you can connect 1.5 times the rated power to the controller ​so if your on a budget you can use a smaller controller with more panels so that you get more power in winter or low light but don't risk overloading the controller in the summer.  The output will be limited to the max listed above.

New EPEver (Tracer) series is EPsolar’s third generation of MPPT controller.

XTRA series are advanced maximum power point tracking (MPPT) charge controllers, for off grid photovoltaic systems, with display unit.

In order to maximise the energy harvest from PV arrays and simultaneously minimise the power loss within a wide range of operating conditions, XTRA series apply an advanced smart algorithm which results in up to 30% higher efficient charging, compared to a conventional pulse width modulation (PWM) charge controller. Xtra series controller have limit protection function on charging current &charging power, as well as auto derating power operation at high temperature; the above protection ensure the stability of system even at exceeded rated PV power and over temperature conditions.

Protection class IP32 and isolated RS485 communication port further improve the controller’s reliability under different application requirements. XTRA series controllers incorporate a self-adaptive three-stage charging algorithm based on a digital control circuit, which effectively prolongs the lifespan of battery and significantly improve the system performance. It also has extensive electronic protection for overcharge, over discharge, PV&battery reverse polarity and etc. to ensure the sustainability and durability of the off grid solar system.

Features:

• Advanced MPPT technology & ultra-fast tracking speed is up to 99.5% guaranteed
• Maximum DC/DC transfer efficiency is as high as 98%, full load transfer efficiency is up to 97.4%
• Wide MPP operating voltage range
• Low temperature protection and self activate function for lithium battery charging
• Limit charging power & current over rated range
• Real-time energy statistics function
• Multiple load work modes
• Comprehensive electronic protection
• Compatible with lead acid and lithium-ion¹ batteries
• Over temperature protection and power degrading in higher temperature
• Optional LCD display units (XDB1/XDS1/XDS2) and accessories
• High quality and low failure rate components of ST or IR to ensure service life
• Isolated RS485 communication port with 5V/200mA protected output, with standard Modbus protocol Monitor and set the parameters via APP or PC software
• Dustproof and waterproof design with IP32² protection class
• CE certification(LVD IEC62109,EMC EN3/1-6-61000)

¹ If using Lithium battery, customer should use “PCsoftware” to set the lithium battery parameters
² Ingress of solid objects:Protected against solid objects over 2.5mm
² Ingress of liquids: Protected against falling drops of water, if the case is disposed up to 15 from vertical

Electronic Protections：

• PV short circuit  protection
• PV overvoltage alarm protection
• PV current limiting protection
• PV reverse polarity protection
• Battery overcharge protection
• Battery over discharge protection
• Battery reverse polarity protection
• Load overload protection
• Load short circuit protection
• Overheating protection

Fixes without screwing holes in your roof!

Panels over 175w should be bolted down, these are unsuitable.

Set of seven black solar panel mounting kit, including 6 brackets (4 corners and 2 sides) and cable gland. 

They are ideal for fixing our solar panels to any vehicle, caravan, boat, barge or even outbuildings and sheds to provide a strong, secure and aesthetically pleasing fixing method, the mounts will support the solar panel at the correct height above the surface to enable the flow of air underneath the panel and keep it cool, ensuring the solar panel functions at it's optimum.

The mounts can be safely bonded to the surface removing the need to drill holes.  The panel is secured by screwing or bolting it to the mounting corner, but the corner itself can be fixed with a good strong adhesive like 'Sikaflex' or 'CT1' or any polyurethane sealant to the roof. (Ensure the roof is clean and dry before attaching.   If a painted roof ensure the paint is not flakey)

ABS mounts raise the panel by 25mm.  Edge of panel to edge of ABS is 55mm.

We sell CT1 which is great for sticking these down, please see related products tab for different colours avaialble.

If you are fitting to a vehicle we recommend that you additionally bolt or screw the panel and mounting down as well, as the strength of these systems is only as strong as the roof type or paint on your roof!

NOTE - You need to purchase additional self tappers or bolts to fit the panel to the ABS mounts, see below for one method...

Here is a good tutorial to get you started:

Premade 6mm Solar Cable with Male to Female MC4 connectors, quick and easy to install.

(Please note if using as a cable run from panel to controller, you would cut in half giving you 2 x 5m lengths, MC4 to bare wire.)

Fitted with Staubli 4-6mm MC4s - Staubli MC4 Link

Wire size range: 6mm2

Ideally 6mm solar cable max - for bigger units with bigger cable click here

Unit best used for housing 1 x AC RCBos, string fuse holders and fuses up to 32a as opposed to DC Din Mount breakers.

Best practice would be to use this unit with no bigger than 6mm square cable and appropriately sized breakers if you are using it with glands for a water tight fit.  If you are using it in an environment that is already dry and dust free the use of glands may not be necessary.

This is an empty unit, you must add the breakers you need to your cart as well, see related items tab above to see the breakers that fit.  

You will also need suitable cable entry glands - please see related products tab.

Optional Meter for AN, BN, CN, XTRA MPPT charge controllers.  DuoRacer requires the MT11, see separate listings.

Comes with 2m RJ45 cable in the box, if you need longer we have a 5m cable here 5m RJ45 Cable for MT50

Please note: Older MT50s manufactured before August 2017 are not compatible with the newer XTRA and AN controllers.

Use with lithium batteries:  The MT50 ( sv 2.18 version) can be used to program a lithium battery for our XTRA controllers. However it cannot do this for the Tracer-AN 60A and 100A. You must use a PC cable and software for programming lithium.
