Apollo Solar T80 Turbocharger MPPT Charge Controller:
Power and Control in a Single Device
The T80
TurboChargerTM integrates Maximum Power Point Tracking, battery charge management,
state of charge information and communications into a single device. With 80 Amps continuous
output, the Apollo T80 has the largest capacity in the industry by over 30%.
Optimum MPPT and Charging Efficiency
The T80 captures up to
35% more power from the photovoltaic (PV) array. Our Patent Pending MPPT algorithm starts early and
locks onto the peak power during rapidly changing insolation and temperature
Energy Monitor Built In
The T80 includes a
built-in Energy Monitor using TriMetricTM Technology from Bogart Engineering. It 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 T80.
Continuous Rating to 45o C (113o F)
Ambient.
The T80 TurboChargerTM produces full rated power without de-rating up
to 40oC ambient temperature. Above that, the output current is reduced gradually to protect the
life of the T80 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.
Enhance Battery Performance and Life
Supports Flooded Lead Acid
(FLA), GEL and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries. Four stage charging with adjustable set points
for all parameters.
Unequalled Communications
The on-board RS-232 and slot for
optional add-in cards provide data communication to Remote Readouts, PCs and the Internet. System
performance can be monitored remotely and the T80 accepts software upgrades from a PC.
