Blue Sky SB3000i Solar Boost 3000i MPPT Charge Controller charges
your RV or any other 12V batteries at up to 30 amps from conventional
36 cell 12V PV modules. The MPPT technology operates the modules
electrically in a manner that harvests all available PV power and can
increase charge current up to 30% or more compared to conventional PWM
type controllers.
The voltage step-down operation of the MPPT power converter also
allows use of higher voltage lower cost 60 cell grid-tie PV modules at
up to 22 amps of output current. The process of converting the much
higher 60 cell input voltage down to battery voltage may produce a
charge current increase approaching 200%.
The sophisticated Blue Sky SB3000i 3-stage charge control plus
auto/manual equalization optimally charges flooded, GEL and AGM
lead-acid chemistry batteries. A user configurable auxiliary output is
also provided which can serve as either a 20 amp LVD load controller, 20
amp lighting controller with LVD, or 2 amp auxiliary battery charger
for a second battery such as the engine start battery in an RV.
The low power LED display combines excellent readability with very
low power consumption, includes an automatic night time diming feature
and may be turned off completely if desired. The high accuracy display
shows battery voltage, input & output current, auxiliary battery
voltage, and computes total solar charge amp-hours produced. To provide
optimal charge control for various battery types all digital setpoints
for charge control and load control are user adjustable.
Solar Boost 3000i may also operate as an IPN Network Master
controlling up to 7 remote Blue Sky Energy IPN compatible charge
controllers such as the SB3024iL. Blue Sky Energy’s IPN Network allows
multiple charge controllers to communicate with each other and
coordinate their activities to charge the battery as a single
coordinated charging machine. All networked controllers display through
the SB3000i’s digital display and may share a battery temperature
sensor, IPN-ProRemote display for high accuracy battery system
monitoring, or Universal Communication Module (UCM) for remote access
over the Internet.
