Power and Control in a Single Device

 

The TurboCharger™ T80 integrates Maximum Power Point Tracking, battery charge management, state of charge information and communications into a single device. With 80 amps continuous output the T80 will process up to 5300 Watts of PV power - the largest capacity in the industry by over 30%.

 

Maximum Charging Efficiency

 

The T80 captures up to 35% more power from the photovoltaic (PV) array. It offers two user selectable MPPT modes. The controller uses the same technology we developed to help NASA harness additional power from their solar arrays.

 

Unique Charge Management System

 

Supports Flooded Lead Acid (FLA), gel and absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries. Four stage charging with fully adjustable set points for all parameters (flooded lead acid batteries only). Includes pre-loaded custom settings for many popular batteries.

 

Energy Monitor

 

The T80 includes a built-in energy monitor which tracks energy production and consumption and calculates the power remaining in the battery. State of Charge (SOC) is displayed in percentage or bar graph format. Historical data on power production, usage, days since fully charged is stored in the T80 for ninety days.

 

Unequalled Communications

 

The T80 is designed to communicate. With it’s on-board RS-232 port the T80 can easily accept software upgrades and custom programming modes. All that is required is an internet connection and a portable PC.

 

Continuous Rating to 400 C

 

The TurboCharger™T80 produces full rated power without temperature derating up to 400C. This means that full power output can be maintained even in extreme temperature conditions, when it is most needed.

 

Reduce System Costs

 

Our efficient MPPT technology dramatically reduces 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.
