Introduction

Thank you for purchasing ePropulsion Solar Charge Controller. This solar charge controller is specially designed for eLite Electric Outboard Motor. Fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology (efficiency ≥99.9%) precisely positions the maximum power point of PV cells thus drawing more Photovoltaic energy. With improved system efficiency, the charging conversion efficiency reaches as high as 90%. The controller is not only designed to work perfectly with a wide variety of solar panels with input voltage ≤18V. but also can get power from other sources with input voltage of 12V DC.
