MPPT Charge Controllers

Phocos MPM System

Phocos MPM System combines one or more MPPT charge controllers with a Modular Control Unit MCU and a multi-functional power switching module MPS for stand-alone power supply systems.  This family of matched components can be configured to operate as a charge controller, load controller or diversion controller to create the best possible charging and load control system for your stand-alone solar, wind, micro-hydro or hybrid power supply system.  You can create custom designs from proven modular components at a very reasonable cost.

Maximum Power Point Track Charge Controller
MPPT 100/30 Amps

With innovative maximum-power-tracking technology, Phocos‘ MPP-Tracker ensures maximum performance from your solar array at all times and in all weather conditions. The MPPT can yield an energy gain from your PV array (up to 30%).  Recommended for solar arrays exceeding 500 watts.

When a MCU Central Unit is used, up to 16 MPPTs can be used together in one system. The charge regulation is then done via data bus by the Central Unit. This will enable you to increase your system capacity substantially.

The temperature-compensated three-stage I-U curve charge regulation algorithm significantly extends the lifespan of your battery.

The possibility to use less expensive grid-feed-in solar panels with up to 95 V open circuit voltage for 12 V or 24 V stand-alone systems will significantly reduce the cost of the total system.

  • Maximum Power Point Tracking technology increases the efficiency of your PV system

  • Less expensive solar-panels for grid feed-in systems can now be used for 12/24 V off-grid systems

  • Electronic protection (reverse polarity, over-current, short-circuit, over temperature)

  • High efficiency

  • DIN Rail compatible

  • Negative ground

  • 100 Volts / 30 Amps can be combined up to 16 modules for larger systems

MPM System MCU Modular Control Unit

As the central control unit, MCU is a key component of Phocos‘ modular power management family. MCU offers a variety of functions such as priority load management based on user-adjustable voltage thresholds as well as control or alarm functions through an integrated relay control output. This intelligent control unit allows for the synchronization of up to four Phocos power modules (MPPT/MPS) while providing complete system monitoring with integrated data logging memory.

MCU‘s features open an endless spectrum of system design possibilities and combinations. Customizing your system electronics is as simple as choosing the appropriate Modular Power Management components for the application and assigning their responsibilities. This flexibility eliminates production lead times for customized electronics for standalone power supplies.

  • Synchronizes up to 4 power modules (MPS/MPPT)

  • Excess energy management

  • Up to five years data logging memory

  • Relay control output

  • Intelligent load management

  • PC interface

  • Advanced diversion control

  • DIN rail mounting

MPM System MPS Modular Power Switch 45-80 Amps

MPS is Phocos‘ innovative new multi-functional power switching module for stand-alone power supplies. It can be configured to operate as a charge controller, load controller or diversion controller by simple toggling of DIP switch settings.

A single MPS unit can control up to 80 A of current at 12, 24 or 48 V and switching can be set for pulse-width modulation or two-point series switching. When configured as a diversion controller, MPS can also control a diversion load for wind and micro-hydro turbine systems.

MPS offers integrated, adjustable low voltage disconnect as a load controller and sophisticated overcharge protection as a solar charge controller. The new flexible power electronics allow for positive or negative grounding.

The power switch is a fundamental unit within Phocos’ innovative Modular Power Management family. Multiple MPS units can be operated together with the help of Phocos’ MCU modular control unit. This allows multiple strings of solar inputs to be used to charge the same battery bank at an aggregate charge current of up to 320 A. Used as load controllers, multiple MPS units can control up to 200 A of total load current.

MPS is a cost-effective, simple, yet versatile power switch that is a valuable solution for stand-alone solar, wind, micro-hydro or hybrid power supplies.

  • 12/24/48 V (automatic or manual)

  • Low voltage disconnect (adjustable)

  • Overcharge protection

  • Pulse-width modulation

  • Two-point series switching

  • Diversion control

  • Excess energy management

  • Flexible grounding

  • DIN rail mounting
