Key Features of MC 30 Amp MPPT Charge Controller
Efficient
◆ Power Catcher maximum power point tracking technology allows the controller to track the maximum power point of solar panels even in a complex environment. Compared with the traditional MPPT tracking technology, it boasts faster response speed and higher tracking efficiency.
◆ A built-in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm can significantly increase the energy utilization efficiency of the photovoltaic system, which is about 15% to 20% higher than traditional PWM charging.
◆ Advanced maximum power point tracking technology (MPPT) with high tracking efficiency as high as 99.9%.
◆ Multiphase synchronous rectification technology with advanced digital power technology, peak conversion efficiency is as high as 98%.
◆ It provides an active charging voltage regulation feature. At battery open circuit or lithium battery BMS overcharge protection, the controller battery terminal will output the rated charging voltage value.
Reliability

I got this for a 7s lithium ion battery which charges at 29.4v. The controller only let me set the charge voltage up to 17v. I assume this is only made for lithium iron phosphate batteries. Please indicate this clearly in the title and description.

I was needing a small system for our tool trailer that could handle 400 watts (4X parallel 100W, 12V solar panels) to charge a couple of 200Ah batteries. I had a 60A PWM unit on here that blew up. At 12V and 400W I was only needing a 33A controller but the PWM can units only handle up to 23 volts from the panels. A 100W, 12V panel can produce 22V open circuit. I think that was why it fried itself. This unit, on the other hand, is a MPPT design and can handle 65V input from the panels. It was the only true MPPT controller I found for this 40A system that was reasonably priced. I’m very happy with this. Unfortunately, I wanted to buy another because I have another application, but the price has jumped up by almost double. There are other options out there for less money now.

This is the most compact mppt I could find. Works very well with my lithium battery.

I needed to replace a PWM controller from another vendor with a MPPT controller to squeeze out a little more power from solar panels as I live in the PNW. This is the most compact controller I could find with good reviews for my simple off-grid solar generator system with lithium iron battery. Offer included a free RM-6 display. Seems to perform well so far. Just added a SRNE BT-2 Bluetooth interface (from Aliexpress for $12) works well with iPhone Solar App and Renogy BT app.

Had this unit for a few days.The battery indicator level on the LCD is showing a charge level different from the actual battery level. The actual battery voltage indicated is spot on and everything works perfectly. Finally getting the actual power from my 3 100 watt panels. I got this zhcsolar 40A MPPT controller at a very good price so I can forgive the indicated level not responding as I expected. Would buy again.

zhcsolar 40A MPPT Solar Charge Controller
This particular controller offers a wealth of data about your system, including the V, A and KWH being put out by your panels 1) today 2) monthly 3) since the last time you connected them to your battery bank.It can handle up to 520W = five 100W panels, provided their total open-circuit voltage does not exceed 100VDC and their total amperage does not exceed 40A.Important note #1: the maximum cable size that the unit will accept is 6AWG for 1) your panels 2) your battery bank 3) your load, which also should not exceed 40A. If you wish to use larger cables, you will need to purchase the appropriate size pin-type lugs, which will actually give you a much more secure connection to the charger than simply inserting stranded cable.Important note #2: if you wish to monitor the unit from up to 6’ away, then this is the meter to get: B00SW1ZP2W (copy & paste into Amazon’s Search bar). From here you may 1) monitor the controller’s temp 2) set the Ah of your battery bank 3) set the date and time that you began monitoring 4) choose the type of batteries, plus much more. Hint: if you are using AGM batteries, then select the setting for Gel batteries, which is the only preset that will avoid monthly equalization, which is not generally required/recommended for AGM batteries.The FIRST IMAGE depicts from left to right a) Remote Switch (B00HHRVKYO )for my Samlex SEC-1250UL charger (B00H8N9AKS ) b) Inverter Remote (B004RCQRZO) for my Samlex SAM-2000-12 MSW inverter (B004RCWYT2 ) c) MT-50 remote monitor (B00SW1ZP2W ) for my zhcsolar 40A solar charge controller (B01B2938BU).The Remote Switch LEDs indicate that the image was made during Stage 2 of charging, which for AGM batteries is a continuous output of 14.4V; the Inverter Remote confirms my battery bank is being fully charged but that the inverter’s Output is only on standby (Fan icon is OFF)*****; the MT-50 monitor is confirming 14.4V, which confirms the SEC-1250UL is at Stage 2 of charging.The reason you want to know the stage of charging is that, if the charger never gets to a Stage 3 Float stage, it means something is awry, which in turn means that your batteries will never become fully charged.*****According to Samlex America, when the inverter is on standby the current draw is so small that it does not count as a load, which means no need to adjust the DIP switches to 2-stage charging, which bypasses stage 2. In the SECOND IMAGE, the green LED of the Remote Switch for the charger does confirm that Stage 3 was attained despite the Inverter Remote drawing power from the SAM-2000-12 inverter. The MT-50 depicts the following:–no power is coming from the solar panels (moon icon)–the voltage of my battery bank during the Stage 3 Float stage has dropped from 14.4 during Stage 2 to a fully-charged condition of 13.4V at the current internal temp of my battery bank–0.0A are currently, during the Float stage, being inputted into my battery bank–there is no load on my bank (fluorescent light icon shows 0.0V/0.0A being consumed).

This Solar Charge Controller has everything you need, and provides many details that help manage your system. I immediately noticed that when attaching one of my panels that I did not get an increase in amperage being pushed into the battery (ie: It wasn’t working), which helped me identify and issue in one of my cables.Documentation is provided via online PDF which is made easily accessible and even linked here in the product. A paper version of the manual is provided with the product, and it goes into such fine detail. I’ve never seen better documentation for a product. Not only is the controller explained in detail, but general best practices and warnings are a good reminder for experienced people, while answering many of the common questions new people have when dealing with these sorts of things. I really wish that my first charge controller had this type of documentation to help me stay safe and keep my equipment from being damaged.Most of the current system information is available on the charge controller LCD, and there is a Select button that will cycle through these details so that you don’t have to sit and wait 40s to see the information you want to find. After some time, you can get temperature sensors and improved data and detail by using the additional extension ports.The terminal blocks are strong and hold my 10 AWG cable without any problem. I think that 10 AWG is the largest wire that would fit, but I could be mistaken on that.The entire back of this charge controller is a metal heat sink, making it pretty easy to figure out how to get a fan blowing some air over it, keeping it relatively cool.Ultimately, I was afraid to make a purchase such as this as my first charge controller, in fear of damaging it, which at this cost would be unacceptable. After purchasing the 40A MPPT Solar Charge Controller, at least with my experience, the device and documentation are so solid that I could have saved myself a lot of time and money by simply purchasing this first.

The panels are generating power even on a cloudy day. Even if the panels are pointed away from the sun. Worth the coin. You get what you pay for. Make sure your area where you put this bad boy is well ventilated.

Product has no means of connecting or disconnecting output loads and therefore no way to protect the batteries from over discharge as indicated in the marketing. If the sun (charge coming in from the panels) is not sufficient to provide charging current in excess of the load current, the batteries will be drained dead. There are no load sensing output terminals capable of disconnecting the battery from the load/s.

The display is hard to read and there is no backlight but it does provide useful information. I used it a bunch while I was setting up and testing my system but if it is designed right for the application you will only need to view the display occasionally.
Pepper power –
There are a few problems with this charge controller.. #1) it goes into voltage overload “100v” and stops producing amps @ 85v. 15% reduction in performance = advertisement fraud. #2) 4awg wire would be better to use than 6awg, especially to the batteries. #3) the “User” control for set battery charge would be useful, if this unit keeps trying to charge my 12v batteries to 14.8v then it will fry them and I will be forced to return it. #4) the load keeps shutting off. I bought 2 of these MPPT controllers I hope I don’t need to return both because they are either defective or not properly advertised.Also, the Chinese-to-English conversion in the manual is nearly junk so remember that you CAN’T set the voltage charge manually and these units probably are limited to about 85v, not 100v as advertised.

The first time I connected it to my 24 volt batteries, it decided that it was a 12 volt system (it shows on the display), overcharged to 25.4 volts, and refused to let the panels charge.While I could change Battery Type from the remote panel, I could not specify that the batteries were 24 volt.A support request on the BougeRV website was not answered by the next day, and after disconnecting it, I reconnected it, and this time it detected it as a 24 volt system, and started charging. I didn’t do anything different, but now it works…The unit appears well-built, and now that it’s going, I hope it will continue working correctly.UPDATE: Tech support did contact me by email, but their message ended up in my spam folder, so I didn’t see it for a couple of weeks. They asked for my order number, which I gave them and I am awaiting their response.The unit has been working well for a couple of weeks, now.The remote display showing how many Amps, Watts and AmpHours the solar panels are putting out is helpful, as I had no monitor for that with my previous controller.

Looks very well-built. Love the heavy duty heat sink and the remote display is awesome: the only thing I would have liked (and others have mentioned as well) is to provide a far longer length of cable for the remote display. For houses, cabins and even large RVs it’s far far far too short.

Bought this so I could expand my solar generator and hopefully maximize output. Love having a display window vrs lights. Replaced renogy 30 amp pwm which kept shutting off and not turning back on due to over voltage. No problems with this one. Had about 4 or 5 months now. Would recommend .

Orest D. from Anthony Mark Enterprises Ltd. –
I have 2 units of the same kind (40A) from the same seller. One calibrated correctly another not so much. That not so much thinks that voltage is 14.2V when in reality it is 14.4V. This causes issues with properly finishing loading of the LiFePo4 bank (BMS steps in). The remote monitor is displaying battery capacity for LiFePo4 way off (like it shows 49% for depleted battery and 100% for little loaded one). There is no user setting for that… Also there in no backlit for that remote I can find. So I rely on another monitor for battery capacity. MPPT is working but slow not sure this is due to the panels reactance time or internal logic. When reaching powers around 300Watts the unit heats up close to 22C above ambient. I think it needs cooling in hot climates and bigger powers. Super positive features is it will not get damaged when battery is disconnected (or connected after panels) and it will still output 14.4V even with no battery. Manual is well written and unit is very simple to understand. The modeI got did not have load disconnect on overload or depletion of the battery but in reality this is what BMS is for. The unit is relatively compact. I say ideal for small RV B class or van conversion with up to 4 panels (4 different models cover from 260W 12V battery bank till 1320W @ 24V battery bank).

I have a barn style shed using only solar power. Currently it is running off an Epever 30 amp charge controller in a 24 volt system. I get nervous that the controller might fail at some point so I picked this controller up for backup.I like that it’s 40 amps because I have my wiring set for 40 amps and enough panels to push close to 40 amps. A quick gator clamp hookup and test showed the controller recognize the system voltage. I will update my review when the time comes to use this controller full time.

I had an older cheaper PVM charge controller and it more or less did the job but when I realized that it was not able to get the most from my solar panels to keep my batteries charged and cared for as well as the MPT, I found this at a good price, although quite a bit higher than the old PVM. But as I had upgraded to a Pure Sine wave inverter I thought it would be better to have a better controller too. It has proved to be a good investment!As with a lot of things in the solar category, the user manual could use some simplification and easier instructions foro us newbies though.

I was so excited to fi nally have the money to get an mppt charge controller and purchased a tracer controller, unfortunately no LCD display it was hard to see how effective it was, I sent it back and upgraded to a windy nation mppt controller but that was TERRIBLE and only used a max of 10 amps to charge the batteries no matter how many panels hooked up e end in full sun! 1000w of panels and it would only push 10amps at 24v!!!So back it went. I hoped this one would be better and am so glad I was right this time! 6 panels 100w each and its pushing 550 w of power into my 24v bank!!! Finally getting the power I’ve paid for!This product does not disappoint, even the display is superior showing the v and a of panels, battery and the kWh for Panels and load.

Arrived in a plastic bag – no box, no padding at all. Controller and paper directions and nothing else. The unit has a temp probe receptacle but no temp probe or any way to get one. Was this a mistake or did I get a rejected package. It’s hard to say these days. Seems to work ok but I expect more protection and all the parts.

Was pretty simple to set up, only 4 wires. easy to program the battery type..wire terminals were good quality..Overall performs as expected.. HOWEVER, not sure it’s any more efficient than my much less expensive PWM solar controller.

The 20 amp unit has worked well with my 100 watt solar panel. The indicator lights are OK and lets you know the function of the unit. Bought the RM-6 display, very disappointed. The display only show one item at a time, so you have to scroll through the item to see all of them. One bad point of the display is it is not back-lit. If you do not have a good light source in the location one needs to use a flashlight to see the display. And it only has instantaneous data. Bought a PZEM-031 0-20 amp display that has four items displayed at one time, back-lit, holds the data until reset.
