The T100 is the only MPPT charge controller that works
with the newer higher voltage PV modules.
Power and Control in a Single Device
The T100 TurboCharger™ integrates Maximum Power Point Tracking,
battery charge management, state-of-charge information, and communications into
a single device. With 100 Amps continuous output, the T100 has the largest capacity
in the industry.
Energy Monitor Built In
The T100 includes a built-in Energy Monitor using
TriMetric™ Technology
from Bogart Engineering. The monitor 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 T100.
Integral Performance-and-Update Communications
The slot for optional add-in cards provides data
communication to Wireless Remote Displays, PCs and
the Internet. System performance can be monitored
remotely and the T100 accepts software upgrades using
a PC and the Remote Display SD Card.
Continuous Power Rating Up to 45oC/113?F Ambient
The T100 TurboCharger™ produces full-rated power without de-rating
at up to 45oC ambient temperature. Above that temperature, the output current
is reduced gradually to protect the life of the T100 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.
Enhanced Battery Performance and Life
The T100 supports Flooded Lead Acid (FLA), GEL and
Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries. Four-stage charging
with adjustable set points for all parameters.
Optimum MPPT/Charging Efficiency Cuts Costs
The T100 captures up to 35% more power from the photovoltaic (PV) array with
patent-pending MPPT technology. The Apollo MPPT algorithm starts early and
locks onto the peak power during rapidly changing insolation and temperature.
The T100 dramatically cuts the cost of a PV system by reducing the number
of PV panels required, eliminating the need for heavy gauge wiring, and increasing
the life of the storage batteries.
