OutBack Power SmartHarvest SCCM20-100 12/24 Volt MPPT Charge Controller
MPPT Charge Controller
Product Highlights
- 20A/100V Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controller
- Ensures maximum yield from available solar energy
- Integrated LED display for PV and battery status
- Built-in electronic protection circuitry
- Backed by OutBack Power's global sales and support network
Product Description
The most efficient, high-yield battery charging technology available, at a price normally associated with PWM designs.
In any PV/solar energy system with energy storage, performance is dependent on the batteries, and the batteries in turn entirely depends
on the charge controller for charging efficiency and longevity. SmartHarvest makes it possible for a wider range of PV solar electricity
systems to take full advantage of premium Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charging technology with the SCCM20-100—MPPT,
for the price of the usual Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) style products generally found in smaller-scale systems.
The SmartHarvest SCCM20-100 improves system economics in several ways. It is designed for installation and set-up simplicity,
reducing labor time in the field. By maximizing solar energy harvesting under a wider variety of environmental conditions,
MPPT technology helps the system extract as much electricity as possible for more effective energy storage.
It is ideal for use in a wide-range of residential, light commercial, agricultural, community and other applications that can
benefit from better yields through more advanced charge controller technology.

About SmartHarvest
SmartHarvest by OutBack represents a line of renewable energy electronics aimed at meeting the growing global demand for
value-orientated, low power-range renewable energy system components.
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Charge Controllers
SmartHarvest's mission is to make the advanced technologies usually associated with premium PV energy systems available
to users regardless of their system size or budget. The SCCM charge controller models accomplish this goal by placing MPPT
charge controller capability within reach of a much wider application base, ensuring higher system yeilds at the power and
size levels where that can advantage can make the most difference.
Pulse-Width Modulation (PMW) Charge Controllers
PMW charge controllers are elegant, proven system solutions. SmartHarvest's SCCP charge controller models scale this
economical solution for use in small PV systems dedicated to specific applications, such as powering a light, appliance or
charging a back-up battery system connected to a smart phone, PC, wireless network adapter or other critical electronic devices.
