Great video only one criticism and hopefully a constructive one, so many people have background music which personally I find annoying and unnecessary as I'm interesting in what information you are giving
Really like this guy....excellent presentation. Answered questions for me that I couldn't find in the manual. Or information that other videos were missing. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing! I'm quite sure the only thing about MPPT on this controller is the label on the top! When you look inside, this is a pure PWM controller and nothing to do with MPPT except the label on the top!
G’day mate, helpful video, my controller has been set up by previous owner and everything has been working great, but it’s not charging during the day in direct sunlight, just has the moon symbol. Any ideas on how to turn it on to charge with the solar? Everything is connected still
Thank you i bought one of these but lost the user Manuel, you explained everything i needed to know, except the different battery settings ie lithium gel and flooded, but reading your replies in comments you gave me the answer. Thank you very very much sir.
Using this to power lights to to remote quail hutches (to stimulate egg laying in the winter) as well as a circulation pump for the (heated via 110v thermo-controlled bucket heater using a 1000w invertor) winter watering system. I have a separate timer controller that is programmed to come on an hour before sunrise and go off 2- 3 hours after dusk (adjusted for 14 hrs "daylight" pending time of year. I power the 12v timer off the 12v barrel plug. I power the lights with the load lugs, so I can turn this lighting schedule off if desired. I also have a secondary barrel plug male to the load lugs, should I wish to directly power the circulation pump (by passing the inverter which is necessary to use a 110v thermally controlled on/off adapter) should my 200w/190 ah system not be able to keep up with the thermally controlled heater (on at °45) AND the pump, as circulation only draws 2a (heater draws 4.17a) and may be more important than the heater (since my inverter shuts off
Hi, I have two of those (100w) each and they are working very well. After some days the LCD screen goes blank(shuts down) on both of them, but batteries never run out of power. When I disconnect the negative wire and connect it again, they displays as normal again. Equipment is as follows for each controller: 2 × 200w solar panels for each controller, 78Ah battery (lead acid)
@@vusi_FIRE_masilela I just bought one of these hooked it up and it worked perfectly for an hour then went blank. I disconnected everything and reconnected and the LCD screen flashed rapidly. Nothing had changed. Have you seen this situation?
Any on where to add battery balancer / equalizer in the setup, an more on wiring with it serial connected batteries vs. Parallel and if and why it must be serial over parallel when using the balancer. Would be apreciated.

This fake charge controller can only handle low amps even with 100A but it is not capable of receiving more than 30A. It's only for those who are new to solar. If you really want to generate a higher current it is best to use a really reliable charge controller.
Thank you for very good video. I had one exactly same controller. It was very good with 6W panel in camper trailer. I don’t know ehat happened but when i connected 150W panel that controller started hisss noise. Then display flickered and smoke came. Controller was good i liked a lot. You told nice features how to setup load hours. I think i gonna buy another and test again.
the battery used here is flooded type. the controller has 3 types of battery settings. B01 Gel, B02 AGM, and B03 flooded. make sure to make the settings change since most of us dont use gel
Some panels come bare wired and others come with a 3.5 plug. This controller is designed to accept either one. Harbor Freight 100w panels are 12v and come with 3.5 plug. It plugs into the left side hole. The right side hole is for Power Out, just like the 2 screws to its left. Same scenario. Some appliances have a plug and some have bare wire. Most 24v panels are bare wire. This controller is supposed to detect which voltage is being used, 12v or 24v, panels and battery bank. DO NOT EXCEED 24v!
@Irene You can only use 12v or 24v, not both. Both together creates 36v, which exceeds this controller's abilities. Each voltage requires its own controller. This controller will accept 12v panels or 24v panels and will adjust the output charge according to the battery bank setup as long as it doesn't exceed 24v. As for both types of connections, as long as the panels are the same voltage you can use both.
Hi Lenz, thank you for the video. I bought exactly the same controller. Not happy to know it's a fake MPPT. Anyway, there is nothing I can do about it now. Just one question I wanted to ask you. When I go through the setup the last option (after the hours of operation selector) is the battery type selector (I think). On mine it shows "b1". I can select b2, b3 and b4. I can't find anywhere what these codes mean. Do you have any idea?
I need advice, please: I have a 455W solar panel...I bought BOTH Mppt and Pmw controllers from China (100A)...When I connect the solar panel, the controllers don't accept the panel? The controller shuts down soon?! Thank you very much
Hi, what are the two ports on the right and left at the bottom of the controller where the cables are connected. they look like 3.5 jack ports. also, do you have a link to the user manual for this controller, i have exactly the same
You need to the explain the disconnect and reconnect only works for the DC power on the controller not the main battery otherwise very good example of how it works
I have the same solar charge controller what does the PV off mean and how do you change it and is it okay that everything else seems normal but in the top left it says PV off
ijust put it on - dasnt have ligth sensor? i just use it for lights at night- my old one PWM did have light sensr so mb ill put the other one back i just use 40w solar and 10w light
I have just installed one of these controllers , I set it to stop charging at 14.2v and the display shows it as stopped charging at 14.2v but it KEEPS charging up to 16 volts then stops charging , this voltage is to high for a 12v battery and will fry it after a while . Be wary and check the voltage all the time
I Have this same product and went over the 14.6v setpoint and kept trickle charging to 18v!! Destroyed my brand new 100ah li ion battery! Became swollen and ready to explode. Peice of shit.
I have 200AH gel battery and the solar panels two of 100w and one of 150w and I connected them together by wire 6mm diameter to the (solar charger controller) but I want from you to guide me about the good value of the PV off (the input off for the 200AH battery) and thanks for you 😊 and if you have some advices for this system can yoh give me ❤🌷
The one I own (100A) is for 12volt or 24 volt battery system. Either one, and it should auto-set for the proper one. "In general" , for controllers, if a 24volt battery source is depleted super-low, when you hook it up to the controller it could think its a 12volt source. In that case, you'd need to unhook from the controller and pre-charge up your battery source more from a direct charger. The PV arrays often charge at slightly higher volts than the battery voltage. For example, a 27volt solar panel would be used to charge a 24 volt battery system.
What are the two female DC jacks on the bottom for? They are on the far right and far left? I have the same charge controller, and they are not mentioned in the manual. Thanks
Hi Lenz thanks for the nice video. I have exactly the same charge controller but i cant put the load off/on as same as your values. Load off i can set only down to 20.2, imposible to set down to for example 10.7 to avoid deep charge. Why??? Also load off same, cant set down only posible to set between 24.0 and 28.0. Strange or? I have 200w solar panel 12v, 12v battery 165ah, charge controller 30ah. Thanks for your help if possible!
I purchased one of these on E-Bay... NOT a MPPT. In the Process of sending back. Ordered the 60A version. LOL, Yea Right ! The Terminals won't even take 12AWG wire required for 20A operation. DON'T Buy one. On inspection the thing is only a PWM type controller. NO DC/DC conversion Process achieved. No Inductor require that would be required for Buck Conversion on the PCB.
12v power out. Manual shows right side with a 12v light bulb, and the left side with an accessory solar panel, so I assume it's a 12v in/out but I'm not sure I would be using a barrel plug to connect a 100w solar panel when I could use a splitter and connect the array using the panel in lugs (10 gauge wire fits easily).

Hello Lenz! I installed a off grid solar system on a RV. 2 340 W panels, 60 A Charge Controller (exactly the one from your video), 1500 inverter and 2 115 ah deep cycle batteries. Everything was working fine for some hours and suddenly when the panel got direct light the charger stopped showing the charging icon. Any idea why? Instructions say: Probable Cause; "Solar panel open or reversed". I don`t know what that means. Thank you!
Did you ground your panels ? it can be a short circuit in one or more module. However this can be cause by reversed current to. I will do a video on it soon
I discovered that jointing another battery to the ports of the lamp, the voltage goes under 15,0 volts, so I have the maximum amperes for the exit for the battery, and even a 3 or more amperes for the lamp exit with another battery attached. So, I can recharge two batteries, and the amperes in one day go up from 21 to 35 only for the exit of the battery,
how does this controler knows the capacity of battery in order to charge the battery at 10% of battery capacity? or it just charge the battery at maximum amps the solar panel give? i want to charge a battery which is 55 Ah lead acid but my panel have a max of 11A at 25V
Question my charge controller goes completely out when the sun is right on my panel. What’s the cause? I have two 92ah battery’s in series so 12v. I also tested only one battery same result. My panel is een jinko solar tiger n-type 355wp. Please help!
@@Lenzwalters the controller goes out. Display goes out and the load terminals don’t provide power anymore. And when the sun goes under, he turns on again. Total charge per day, max 3ah
@@vivienrichter3916 Actually when you connect the battery to the load output you are connecting them in parallel since you will never get a higher voltage than the battery voltage. only difference is that you can use the load switch to charge the second battery when needed
It depends on your battery size, load & so on. A 30 amp cable will be the best from panel to controller and the same for the battery, the load may be less but you can still use the same cable if you wish.
Why are people commenting that this unit is a PWM unit. Do you guys have x-ray vision? How can you see what's inside? Sure it looks similar on the outside to a PWM but so what. What's on the inside? Give me some facts to go on please.
Can you set the maximum output voltage from pv to battery? I have an inverter that doesnt like the high voltages my current charge controller puts out...so i need a programmable charge controller
@@Lenzwalters It's a generic chinese so called mppt charge controller, it came fixed with the 250w fold out portable solar cells im using. Inverter is connected direct to battery, but the charge controller outputs to battery at the same time. Ill have to try the Epever tracer and program it to a voltage output that the inverter will tolerate.
can i ask i bought this same controller but im trying to run a 24V load do i need a 24V battery?? or is there a setting i need to set for it to run 24V
" MPPT SOLAR " seems to be a name of a brand, not the kind of product ! And under is written " Charge Controller ". So, it's a Charge Controller, named MPPT SOLAR. It's not a MPPT solar charge controller !
Because I want to use a alternator to charge my batteries them I am not using any solar panel , i am going to use a timer to switch the motor that is going run the alternator on and off
Even a true Deep Cycle battery should never be discharged to a total less than 50% charge to prolong its life exsistance ,, I have my system set to shut off power at 60% charge .. your 40% will kill the batteries life to fast , I have 6 years on my batteries and their still in great shape ..
you are correct the less discharge % is better and would prolong the cycle. knowing certain persons won't study the system until they are out of power i recommend 40% that wont be to bad. sizing system requires with more batteries , some person may be on a small setup, and use out all the battery power.
Even car batteries are not designed for deep cycle. AGM/GEL okay, because they are redesigned for this purpose, but I would never recommend even a car battery for deep cycle use.

No you don't have to, you can connect your inverter from your battery
How do you connect solar panel that has only one DC output cable?
I am using a 100a charge
I am also using a 600w solar panel
And one 12v 200a battery
How long will it take it to charge on a raining day
where are you living ?
Nigeria
Lenz, great video! Question: Could the load terminals be used to charge or maintain another 12v battery on a boat?
yes, it will charge slower but you will have to make sure it don't over charge as it load.
Why not connecting the second battery in parallel with the first one at the battery terminals?
@@vivienrichter3916 Actually when you connect the battery to the load output you are connecting them in parallel since you will never get a higher voltage than the battery voltage. only difference is that you can use the load switch to charge the second battery when needed
Hi can you tell me what cable I need for this please
It depends on your battery size, load & so on. A 30 amp cable will be the best from panel to controller and the same for the battery, the load may be less but you can still use the same cable if you wish.
just the tutorial i needed
I have same one. Mine goes back to voltage screen. I want it to stay on selected screen like amps or kwh screen. Any ideas.
yes they only stay on float voltage screen. this only in particular.
@@Lenzwalters I ordered newer one. I only got check it out little while. So far I don't like. I think I go back to other kind. Thanks
Hi .
I bought this mppt just to learn more about solar system.
How I can know with this charge controller is the battery is full or not.
Thanks
Can you help ?
The bars for the battery goes up. when all the bars are up battery is full
Half moon icon appears and never charge the battery. Any comments how to fix it. Thank you.
i have a motorcycle battery that has 12volts 3amp , what appliances or device can it load/power?
A motorcycle?
Bro it will give constant 12v on output
yes until the battery drop to 11V
Why are people commenting that this unit is a PWM unit. Do you guys have x-ray vision? How can you see what's inside?
Sure it looks similar on the outside to a PWM but so what.
What's on the inside?
Give me some facts to go on please.

Per favore sapete dirmi se questo regolatore di carica puo caricare le batterie al gel e sé si come impostarlo b1o b2 grazie sé qualcuno mi risponde
I use this kind of mppt solar charger..i put 2 100w panel but is not charging..thank you.
maybe you connected something wrong
hello what use the dc ports have on this controller they are 2 one on the left and one on the right
+ _ for the load
What what settings to use when using AAG M battery versus a lithium ion false stateif they live in Ireland fall asleep Avenue what's the temperature
these controllers are for lead acid type batteries mostly
Hello and thanks for uploading. Do I need to fit an in-line fuse between the controller and the battery? And if so what amp fuse? Thanks
it depends on your application, what are you going to use it for
i realize Im quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to watch new tv shows online ?
@Raiden Heath flixportal :D
@Stetson Davian Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it !
@Raiden Heath Glad I could help :D
Can you set the maximum output voltage from pv to battery? I have an inverter that doesnt like the high voltages my current charge controller puts out...so i need a programmable charge controller
you can then link you inverter to your battery instead of the charger controller. What the name of your charge controller ?
@@Lenzwalters It's a generic chinese so called mppt charge controller, it came fixed with the 250w fold out portable solar cells im using. Inverter is connected direct to battery, but the charge controller outputs to battery at the same time. Ill have to try the Epever tracer and program it to a voltage output that the inverter will tolerate.
@@muttaporial1995 you can set a lower output to your battery.
When im not on the boat i drop it down to 13.7v from 14.1v
can i ask i bought this same controller but im trying to run a 24V load do i need a 24V battery?? or is there a setting i need to set for it to run 24V
you need a 24v battery. you can use to 12V and make 24V
hello can you tell me what percentage of the charging efficiency of this scc mppt thank you
12.6 max 13v
How many lamp can atouch to SOLAR CHARGER CONTROLLER?
what is the solar charge specs ?
Sir what is a maximum load off, you did not reach the maximum load off 11.9.
Guys, this is not a MPPT solar charger. It is a fake MPPT.
Mine doesn’t have a backlight lcd?
Hi could u assist me for setting this controller up I have 2 12v solar panels connected 8n series does this turn it to 24 v
Hi yes if in series it will be 24V and amp reminds the same. this solar charge controller is designed for 12v/24V
Hi thanks just got a camper with the same mppt controller
Enjoy it
Exelente bro tengo uno similar bro gracias hermano
Mine doesn't show amp or amp hour
Wait, so what is fake about this?
" MPPT SOLAR " seems to be a name of a brand, not the kind of product ! And under is written " Charge Controller ". So, it's a Charge Controller, named MPPT SOLAR. It's not a MPPT solar charge controller !
It's a pmw solar charge controller?
Because I want to use a alternator to charge my batteries them I am not using any solar panel , i am going to use a timer to switch the motor that is going run the alternator on and off
How long have you used it? Any damage?
No damage, still working since i got it. almost a year i think
@@Lenzwalters Do you work 24 hours a day? Thanks
Do not use! Will overcharge battery even when setpoint is set
Heloo do all arrows supposed to display
hi my sola pannels are 240v 8.9 amp will this still work
how many panels?
Even a true Deep Cycle battery should never be discharged to a total less than 50% charge to prolong its life exsistance ,, I have my system set to shut off power at 60% charge ..
your 40% will kill the batteries life to fast , I have 6 years on my batteries and their still in great shape ..
you are correct the less discharge % is better and would prolong the cycle. knowing certain persons won't study the system until they are out of power i recommend 40% that wont be to bad. sizing system requires with more batteries , some person may be on a small setup, and use out all the battery power.
Even car batteries are not designed for deep cycle. AGM/GEL okay, because they are redesigned for this purpose, but I would never recommend even a car battery for deep cycle use.
How much it cost
Can anyone please explain to me what a flashing screen mean? I have a 100 amp mppt charge controller, Thank you in advance 🙏
can be overload maybe or make sure all your wires connected properly.
