150W Sunshine Solar Caravan Motorhome & Boat Kit

This Sunshine Solar Power Caravan & Motorhome Kit includes a choice of either a single battery charge controller for one battery or one battery bank typically used in caravan solar set-ups or a dual battery controller for optimised battery charging two battery banks useful for those of you wishing to keep both starter and leisure batteries charged commonly used in motorhome solar set-ups.

Monitoring of the system can be made easy with the optional remote meter or via Apple & Android smartphones, tablets, MacBook's and other devices, using the optional Bluetooth Adapter.

Please note: The Bluetooth Adapter is only compatible with the MPPT Dual Controller DuoRacer (Upgrade). If you are upgrading to the MPPT Single Controller this has Bluetooth capabilities built-in, so for easy system monitoring you will just need to download the free APP and you are ready to go.

XTRA-N G3 BLE series controllers are based on a new design concept, featuring a Bluetooth module which allows you to read and write parameters via Apple and Android Smartphones. The controllers adopt the advanced MPPT control algorithm, improving the maximum power point (MPP) tracking and acting speed. By minimizing the MPP loss rate and time, the controllers can track the MPP quickly to obtain the maximum energy under any conditions. 

Independent voltage regulation, namely, the battery terminal of the controller can be connected to loads directly when there is no battery, this is a new added function. The Xtra Series are lithium batteries friendly, avoiding the instability output voltage caused by the internal protection of the lithium batteries. 

Low self-consumption design significantly reduces the static power consumption and extends system standby time. 

The Xtra Series perform well under the high temperature ensuring system stability. IP33 Ingress protection and isolated RS485 com port design improves the controller’s reliability to meet different application requirements. XTRA-N G3 BLE series adopts a three-stage charging mode, which effectively prolongs the battery's lifespan and improves performance. Comprehensive electronic protections, such as overcharge, over-discharge, PV & battery reverse polarity, etc., helps to protect the solar system components. This controller are widely used for RVs, Motorhomes, Caravans, Boats household systems, etc.

The Dual Battery MPPT Solar Charge Controller adopts the advanced MPPT control algorithm, which will minimize the maximum power point loss rate and loss time, also fast track the maximum power point (MPP) of the PV array, and obtain the maximum energy from solar array under any conditions. The energy utilization in the MPPT solar system is increased by 20-30% compared with PWM charging method. The controller features a low-power mode, which reduces standby current when the unit is idle preventing power waste and helping to enhance the products life. The system parameters are shown and set by LED/LCD or the MT11 remote meter (Accessory). 

Monitoring of the system can be made easy with the optional remote meter or via Apple & Android smartphones, tablets, macbooks and other devices, using the optional Bluetooth Adapter.
