Steca Tarom MPPT
Description
The Steca Tarom MPPT solar charge controller sets new standards in the field of large maximum power point trackers. Outstanding efficiency combined with unique protection features make it a universal peak charge controller.
Two inputs are available, which can be optionally connected in parallel or used separately. Each input has its own MPP tracker. This means that two charge controllers are available in one unit. Different module arrays can be flexibly combined in one charge controller.
With an input voltage range of up to 200 V, all types of solar modules can be used in different interconnections. This charge controller therefore combines maximum flexibility with maximum yield as well as professional battery care in an attractive design based on the very latest technology. A Steca Tarom MPPT 6000-M can communicate with up to 22 Steca Tarom MPPT 6000-S.
