MPPT Charging Technology and Stages

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is an advanced tracking algorithm that keeps track of input power coming from the solar panels in real time to maximize the charger’s performance and improve the system’s total efficiency.
The amount of solar energy available during a day varies based on conditions like geographical location, time of the day, inclination angle of the solar panels, relative humidity and impurities in the air, surface cleanliness of the solar panels etc. With all these conditions at play, effecting the amount of energy reaching the panels, it is important that every bit of converted electrical energy is used to charge batteries as efficiently as possible. The MPPT charging technology is designed to track this variable amount of energy coming from the panels and adjust the voltage and current parameters to maximize the battery charging efficiency. The MPPT charging algorithm comprises of four stages that provide rapid, efficient, and safe battery charging.

Four Stage Charging Process
The charge controller’s 4-stage charging process is illustrated in the figure below.

MPPT Charge Stage
In this stage, the battery voltage has not yet reached boost voltage and 100% of available solar power is used to recharge the battery.

Boost Charge Stage
In this stage, when the battery voltage reaches the Boost voltage setpoint value, the charger uses a constant voltage to charge the battery to prevent excess heating.

Float Charge Stage
The controller reduces the voltage to the floating stage, charging with a smaller voltage and current. It will reduce the temperature of battery and prevent the gassing, also charging the battery slightly at the same time. The purpose of Float stage is to offset the power consumption caused by self- consumption and small loads in the whole system, while maintaining full battery storage capacity.
In Float stage, loads can continue to draw power from the battery. If the system load(s) exceed the solar charge current, the controller will no longer be able to maintain the battery at the Float setpoint. Should the battery voltage remains below the boost reconnect charging voltage, the controller will exit Float stage and return to Bulk charging.

Equalize Charge Stage.
Certain types of batteries benefit from periodic equalizing charge, which can stir the electrolyte, balance battery voltage and complete chemical reaction. Equalizing charge increases the battery voltage, higher than the nominal battery voltage, which gasifies the battery electrolyte. If it detects that the battery is being over discharged, the solar controller will automatically turn the battery to equalization charging stage, and the equalization charging will be 120mins. Equalizing charge and boost charge are not carried out constantly in a full charge process to avoid too much gas precipitation or overheating of battery.

WARNING: Risk of explosion!
Equalizing flooded battery can produce explosive gases, so well ventilation of battery box is necessary.

Installation

Read before installation

CAUTION: Please read all instructions and precautions in the manual before proceeding with the installation!

• This charge controller must only be used in Photo-Voltaic (PV) systems in accordance with requirements given in this user manual and the specifications of other system components provided by their manufacturers. No energy source other than a solar panel or array may be connected to the PV charge controller referred herein.
• PV-modules must always be disconnected prior to the installation and adjustments of the charge controller; Make sure the circuit breaker, fuse or disconnect switches of battery terminals are breaking the circuit path.
• Verify the battery voltage parameter meets the voltage range of the charge controller.
• Batteries store a large amount of energy, never short circuit a battery under any circumstances. We strongly recommend connecting a protection fuse directly to the battery terminal for protection in case of short circuiting the battery.
• Certain types of batteries can produce flammable gases. Avoid provoking any sparks, using fire or any exposed flame close to any batteries. Make sure that the battery enclosure is well ventilated to disperse any gases.
• Only use insulated tools and avoid placing (any) metal objects near/close to batteries.
• Be extremely cautious when working with batteries. Wear eye protection. Have fresh water available to immediately wash and clean any contact with battery acid. Get immediately medical aid in case of any hazard that may occur.
• Be aware that voltages on given system components, terminals or wires can be a multiple of battery voltage and keep your hands always dry and protected by proper (approved) electrician gloves when working on PV-Systems.
• Prevent any water from entering the controller, outdoor installation must avoid any direct sunlight and penetration of any water (e.g., rain) and humidity.
• After installation make sure that all connections are properly secured without any loose connections to eliminate the possibility of any hot electrical connection spots.
• Do not touch the wire terminal screws with bare hands or with uninsulated metal objects or tools.
• The DC (PV) input is not isolated from the battery circuit. Therefore the PV, battery and control circuit are considered hazardous and should not be user accessible.
• The battery and PV connections must be guarded against inadvertent contact. Install the solar charger in an enclosure.

Mounting Location Requirements

• ● Do not subject the solar charge controller to direct sunlight or any other heat sources. Protect the charge controller from any dust, dirt, and moisture.
  ● Mount it flat to a vertical wall. If there is a backing material installed on the wall, make sure that it is non-flammable material. Ensure the electrical terminals face downwards.
  ● Maintain a minimum clearance of 6 inches (or 15 cm) above and below and around the controller to ensure unhindered air circulation. Mount the charge controller as close to the batteries as possible (for accurate voltage sensing).

• Mark the position of the charge controller’s mounting holes on the wall, drill 4 holes and insert dowels and affix the charge controller to the wall using appropriate screws and the cable terminal openings facing downwards.

PV Array Recommendations

• The solar panels can be interconnected in either series or parallel configuration in a Photo-Voltaic (PV) array. It is recommended to use only one type of panels (with identical parameters) in an array.
  For example:

  • Connecting two or more 165W (FSFP16MW2-BL) panels in series or parallel TICK
  • Connecting two or more 180W (FSFP18MW-BL) panels in series or parallel TICK
  • Connecting two or more 370W (FSFP37MW2-BL) panels in series or parallel TICK

• Mismatching solar panels in series or parallel is not recommended as it will lower the overall output and efficiency of the PV array.
  For example:

  • Connecting one 165W panel with a 180W or a 370W panel in a series or parallel CROSS

• In Series configuration, the negative terminal of the first solar panel is connected to the positive terminal of the second panel and so on in a daisy chain fashion (see figure below). This will result in addition of the output voltage and wattage of the panels in the array and the output current of the total array will remain the same as output current of one solar panel.
  For example:

  • Consider a PV array of two Furrion 165W solar panels (PN: FSFP16MW2-BL) connected in series configuration.

For a single Furrion 165W solar panel (PN: FSFP16MW2-BL) the voltage at max. power is 17.9V, current at max. power is 9.7A and the max. power is 165W.
After connecting two panels in series configuration,
The resultant array’s voltage at max. power will be 35.8V, current at max. power is 9.7A and total max. power of the array is 330W.
The Furrion MPPT technology based solar charge controller can function efficiently and convert almost 98% of its input solar power into charging power with the help of the added voltage resulting from a series connection of solar panels. The wire gauge of the array can remain the same, as series configuration will keep the output current same as a single panel. Hence, it is recommended to connect solar panels in series configuration in an array when using the MPPT solar charge controller.
When connecting solar panels in an array, care must be taken so that the resultant array voltage and power parameters do not exceed the charger specifications shown below.

Wire Size and Fuse Recommendations

• Wiring and installation methods must comply with national and local electrical code/specifications.
• The wiring specifications of the PV and battery system must be selected according to the rated currents specified.
• Since the PV outputs can vary due to the array connection method, the minimum wire size must be in accordance with the maximum array short-circuit current.
• Please use PV Photovoltaic wire for connection of the array to the charge controller.
• It is recommended to install a fuse between the charger and the battery on the positive wire. Location of the fuse should be closer to the battery. The fuse rating must be 1.2 – 1.5 times more than the maximum rated charge current of the solar charge controller.

Please check the following table for wiring specifications:

Model| Rated charge current| PV Wire Gauge (AWG)| Battery Wire Gauge (AWG)| Rated Discharge current

Solar Charge Controller Connections and Steps

40A charger model connection schematic

60A charger model connection schematic

1. Connect the accessories such as the temperature sensor. The 2-pin connector of the temperature sensor cable connects to the temperature sensor port on the charger. Connect the other end with an eyelet terminal to the battery negative terminal to measure the battery temperature.

2. Remove terminal cover before installing wires.

3. Connect the load cables (if applicable) to the charger matching the polarity as indicated by the symbols on the charger. To avoid tension in the cables, connect the cables to the load first and then connect them to the charge controller.

4. Connect the battery cables to the charger matching the polarity as indicated by the symbols on the charger. Make sure a properly rated fuse is installed in line on the cable for the positive lead of the battery.

5. Connect the PV array cables to the charger matching the polarity as indicated by the symbols on the charger.
   Note: Solar panels produce voltage and current whenever they are exposed to light. When connected in a circuit, the amount of current produced by the solar panels is directly proportional to the light intensity. Be careful when connecting the PV array cables to the charger terminals. The connection of a properly rated fuse is optional but they add additional system safety. A disconnect switch can be very convenient if need arises to disconnect the solar array to the charger for maintenance and troubleshooting.

6. Add back terminal cover. Ensure wires or terminals are not exposed after installation.

7. Connect an 8AWG cable with a crimped eyelet terminal to the ground lug on the charge controller and connect the other end to the chassis grounding point.

8. Make sure all the cables are securely attached to the charger terminals. If a disconnect switch is present in line between the solar array and the charger, turn it on to supply power to the charge controller.

9. Observe the operational indications like the LEDs, icons on LCD screen or the parameters on the Bluetooth app for further information.

Grounding

The 40A and the 60A charge controllers are equipped with an M6 size ground lug on the side of the heat sink. It is recommended to use an 8AWG conductor with an eyelet terminal for grounding the controller to the vehicle chassis in case grounding is required. CAUTION: For common-negative system, such as motorhome, it is recommended to use a common negative-type controller.
