Product overview A 400W MPPT hybrid charge controller designed for household renewable energy systems. Accepts inputs from solar panels and wind generators, manages charging for 12V, 24V, and 48V battery banks, and includes an LCD display and dump load control for reliable automatic operation. This 48Vconfigured unit combines efficient charging with practical system protection and monitoring. Key benefits and why you need it Hybrid input for solar and wind: Consolidates solar panels and small wind turbines into a single charge management device, reducing system complexity. MPPT charging for improved energy capture: Maximizes available power from solar panels under varying conditions to charge batteries more effectively than simple controllers. Prevents battery overcharge: Builtin dump load control diverts excess power when batteries reach set thresholds, protecting battery life and system stability. Clear system status at a glance: Integrated LCD display shows charge state, load status, and operating parameters for easier setup and monitoring. Flexible compatibility: Works with 12V, 24V, and 48V battery systems, making it suitable for a wide range of household offgrid and backup installations. Core features and attributes Function: MPPT hybrid charge controller with solar and wind generator charging inputs, battery charging management, load control, and dump load diversion. Compatibility: Designed for battery banks at 12V, 24V, or 48V; suitable for typical lead acid and lithium battery systems when configured according to battery specifications. Power rating: 400W maximum input handling for combined renewable sources. Monitoring: Builtin LCD display provides operational information and adjustment of charging parameters. Installation: Compact format for mounting in household system enclosures or small equipment rooms; intended for standard electrical installation practices. Reliability: Automatic control logic for charge regulation and dump load switching to maintain system balance and prevent overcharge. Practical applications Offgrid cabin or cottage: Combine rooftop solar and a small wind turbine to charge a 48V battery bank for lighting, appliances, and communications equipment. Rural or farm outbuilding power: Support batterybacked systems that supply pumps, lighting, and sensors where grid power is unavailable or intermittent. Residential backup and hybrid systems: Integrate with a home battery bank and distributed generation to reduce grid dependence and manage excess generation through the dump load. What sets this controller apart One device for both solar panels and wind turbines, reducing component count and simplifying wiring. MPPT technology to extract more usable energy from PV arrays compared to nonMPPT controllers. Dump load capability to automatically handle surplus energy and preserve battery health. LCD display for straightforward setup and ongoing monitoring without additional tools. Basic installation notes Confirm battery nominal voltage (12V, 24V, or 48V) matches controller configuration before connection. Size solar and wind inputs so combined power does not exceed 400W rating. Configure battery charging parameters on the LCD interface according to the battery manufacturer recommendations. Provide adequate ventilation and mount in a clean, dry area to maintain reliable operation. What you will get A 400W MPPT hybrid charge controller configured for household systems with solar and wind inputs, LCD display, and dump load functionality suitable for 12V, 24V, or 48V battery systems. This controller is intended for users who need a compact, combined solution for managing smallscale solar and wind generation into a household battery bank while maintaining charge control and system monitoring.
