Blue Sky Solar Boost 3024i MPPT Charge Controller, 12/24VDC 30A

Patented Maximum Power Point Tracking technology allows Solar Boost 3024i to increase charge current up to 30% or more compared to conventional charge controllers. The 3024i is capable of operating a 24 volt array and stepping down to charge a 12 volt battery. Solar Boost 3024i provides an advanced fully automatic 3-stage charge control system to ensure the battery is properly and fully charged, resulting in enhanced battery performance with less maintenance. An automatic or manual equalize function is also provided to periodically condition flooded lead-acid batteries.

To further enhance versatility, a user configurable auxiliary output and Blue Sky Energy's advanced IPN network interface are also included.The user configurable auxiliary output can serve as either a 20 amp load controller, or as a 2 amp auxiliary battery charger. The load control feature can be used to limit excessive battery discharge in unattended remote systems, whereas the auxiliary battery charge feature is ideal for charging a separate battery such as the engine battery in an RV. Blue Sky Energy's advanced Integrated Power Net, or IPN Network, allows up to 8 IPN capable charge controllers to communicate with each other and operate as a single machine rather than separate charge controllers. The IPN network also allows networked controllers to share an optional battery temperature sensor and remote display. The IPN network does not require a display or other special hardware to operate.
