Steca Solarix MPPT
3020, 5020
- High efficiency maximum power point tracker
- Wide input voltage range
- LED display
- Automatic battery voltage detection
- Full load protection




Description
Steca Solarix MPPT are solar charge controllers with maximum power point tracking. These are suitable for all common module technologies and are optimally suited for solar systems with module voltages higher than the battery voltage. In particular, such inexpensive PV modules that are used for grid-connected systems can also be used off-grid.
Steca‘s efficient MPP tracking algorithm always provides the maximum usable power of the module, significantly increasing energy yield, especially in poor weather conditions (cloud cover, winter, diffused light). The Steca Solarix MPPT charge controllers combine state-ofthe-art charging technology with high efficiency, professional battery care with numerous programming options, modern design, excellent protection functions and an intuitive LC display with menu guidance.
For remote monitoring, KATEK Memmingen provides the cost-efficient item PA WiFi1 as an optional accessory.
