Midnite Solar's Classic 250 MPPT Charge Controller

Finally the Classic has arrived. This is "the" MPPT Charge Controller!!! Period.

The Classic MPPT Charge Controller will soon stand the renewable energy industry on it’s ear. The Classic will substantially increase the flexibility, features and range currently found on MPPT controllers. The Classic is the only MPPT controller that has Arc Fault Detection, making this controller the safest controller available in the world. The "Classic 250" can handle up to 74 amps making it one of the most powerful MPPT charge controllers ever! It is also 100% made in the USA. The Classic will charge any battery bank from 12 to 72 volts with a solar input voltage of up to 254 volts.

The way to calculate the maximum voltage the controller can accept from the solar module(s) is a little different. You add the operating battery voltage to 250 volts*. For example:

12 volt battery bank 13.5 volts plus 250 = 263 volts max input voltage (VOC)

24 volt battery bank 27.0 volts plus 250 = 277 volts max input voltage (VOC)

48 volt battery bank 54.0 volts plus 250 = 304 volts max input voltage (VOC)

*If your battery bank is higher than 48 volts the Classic can handle up to 304 volts DC in from your solar array.

 There is nothing else that even begins to compare with the "Classic".

Some of the cool features of the Classic 250 MPPT are: (these are just the features that only the Classic has. The Classic does everything all other MPPT controllers can do plus the following)

• 250 volt DC input 
• HyperVOC mode (add the battery voltage to the operating voltage for VOC rating)
• Solar, Wind and Hydro MPPT modes
• Get 50‐250% more power from hydro’s and wind turbines 
• Learning mode for Solar, Wind and Hydro 
• User programmable for most all battery charging wind turbines (may require the Clipper) 
• Built in String sizing program 
• Suggested PV combiner and breaker model numbers depending on configuration selected 
• Suggested wire size in AWG and Metric 
• Built in Battery capacity sizing program

• Graphics display panel can be removed and relocated (Dummy filler display available) 
• USB port for uploading firmware updates and data logging to a PC or Mac 
• Graphics display turns into an oscilloscope 
• Battery voltage supported up to 72 for the Classic 250 
• Works with the MidNite Clipper for over‐speed control of wind turbines (2011) 
• Two aux outputs: 1 dry contact relay and one 12v output/ input (anemometer or?) 
• Voice prompts and help screens in English, Spanish and French (2011) 
• 32 megabytes of onboard storage 
• Parallel operation to make one large controller out of many regular Classics (2011) 
• Snap on covers and hole plugs allow sealed or vented operation 
• Buck or Boost DC to DC converter operation available in (2011) 

 That is over 30 features not available anywhere else. The folks at Midnite Solar have really outdone themselves this time. When they designed the MX60 it was amazing. The "Classic 250" is truly in a "class" of it's own.
