A compact, flexible solar charge controller that maximizes energy harvest and simplifies battery charging for small solar systems, portable power stations, and off-grid equipment. Key benefits Efficient energy conversion: Built-in MPPT tracking increases solar-to-battery conversion efficiency so batteries charge faster and more completely from the same solar panel. Flexible power sources: Accepts solar panels and alternative inputs (including Type-C), letting you charge from multiple sources and adapt to available power. Easy integration and protection: Works with a wide range of panels (6V–24V) and connects via DC-002 power socket or terminal block. Input anti-return protection prevents battery discharge into the panel or supply. Clear system visibility: Multiple built-in status indicators show solar panel and battery conditions at a glance, reducing troubleshooting time. Features and compatibility Input voltage range: Compatible with 6V–24V solar panels; automatically adapts to input within this range. Connection options: Use the DC-002 power socket or the terminal block for direct wiring, providing installation flexibility for different setups. Anti-return protection: Prevents reverse current flow from the battery into the solar panel or external power source when input power is absent. MPPT functionality: Actively tracks the maximum power point of the solar panel to extract more power under changing light and load conditions. Status indicators: Multiple LEDs or status lights display solar input and battery state for quick on-site checks. Performance and operation Optimizes charging efficiency through MPPT, especially useful in partially shaded or variable-irradiance conditions. Adaptive input handling makes the controller suitable for a variety of small panel configurations without manual reconfiguration. Simple, visible status feedback reduces the need for external meters during everyday use. Practical applications Portable power stations and battery packs: Improve charging speed and reliability when using mobile solar panels or USB-C chargers. Camping, RV, and boating: Maintain or recharge leisure batteries from 6V–24V panels while minimizing wasted solar energy. Remote sensors and off-grid equipment: Provide efficient, self-contained charging where consistent power and reverse-current protection are important. What problems it solves Reduces wasted solar energy by using MPPT to harvest more power from panels. Eliminates battery drain back into panels or supply sources with input anti-return protection. Simplifies wiring and source selection with both DC-002 socket and terminal block connections plus Type-C compatibility. Makes system status easy to monitor with built-in indicators, lowering maintenance time. Installation and user guidance Connect a compatible 6V–24V solar panel to the DC-002 socket or terminal block. You may also power via Type-C as an alternative source. The controller automatically adapts to the input voltage and engages MPPT tracking; monitor the built-in indicators to confirm panel and battery status. Ensure correct polarity when wiring and follow standard safety procedures for battery connections. This controller delivers flexible input options, reliable reverse-current protection, and MPPT performance to improve charging efficiency and simplify setup for small solar and portable power applications.
