What Size MPPT Solar Charge Controller Needed For An EV?
Description
If you are thinking about putting together a solar power system for your electric car, one important thing you need is a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) solar charge controller. But how do you figure out the correct size for this MPPT controller?
- Matching the controller to your solar array
The starting point for selecting the suitable MPPT solar charge controller India size is to make it compatible with your solar panel system. Your EV won’t charge unless it matches the wattage capacity of the charger. As an example, let's say your solar panel has the power to make 1000 watts. You will require an MPPT controller that is capable of managing this same amount of electricity.
b) Considering battery voltage
Then, think about the charge voltage of an EV's charging system. EV charging solution India has a high-voltage battery, usually between 400V and 800V. Just keep in mind that the solar charge controller needs to fit the voltage of the battery for your EV charging setup. If using a 12V, 24V, or 48V battery system you'll require an MPPT controller that supports that particular voltage range.
c) Evaluating current capacity
MPPT controllers can easily deal with the electric power generated from solar panels. For example, if your solar panels make 30 amps of current, your MPPT controller from INGLO must be able to manage at least that much. Please look at the rating for the MPPT controller and make sure it's equal to or higher than the power coming from your solar panel.
