 Wind & Solar Energy made Easy

When you're miles from the nearest power pole or anchored in a remote cove, you need your gear that is:   "Working WIH You! NOT Againt You"

The Wind & Solar Hybrid MPPT Controller is the heavy-duty brains of your off-grid operation. Built for practical, tactical, and everyday outdoor enthusiasts, it seamlessly manages the power coming in from both your solar panels and your wind turbine. It ensures you’re squeezing every last drop of usable juice out of the harsh Aussie environment to keep your fridge cold, your lights on, and your comms charged.

Boasting over 98% conversion efficiency thanks to advanced MPPT technology, this controller adapts to whatever the weather throws at it. It supports 1kW to 3kW setups and automatically senses your 12V, 24V, or 48V battery banks. Whether you're running trusty deep-cycle lead-acid batteries or you've dropped the cash on a modern LiFePO4 lithium setup, this unit handles the lot. Best of all, the built-in Wi-Fi module gives you full visibility and control right from your smartphone. Set it up, connect your gear, and let it do the hard yakka.

Problem Solving / Benefits

• Keep the peace at the campsite: Seamlessly blend your wind and solar inputs to keep your batteries topped up day and night, so you can leave the noisy petrol generator at home.
• Monitor your rig from the tinny: With the Wi-Fi app, check your camp's power levels and tweak settings straight from your phone while you're out fishing or hitting the tracks.
• Future-proof your 4x4 build: Whether you're currently running old-school lead-acid batteries or planning an upgrade to high-tech LiFePO4 lithiums, this controller auto-adapts to your battery chemistry.
• Protect your expensive batteries: Built with robust overcharge, over-discharge, and overload protections, it safeguards your power bank when the weather turns nasty and the wind picks up.

Key Features

• True MPPT Technology: Delivers over 98% charging efficiency for both solar and wind inputs, ensuring your batteries charge up even in low-wind or overcast conditions.
• Smart App Control: Expandable Wi-Fi capability lets you monitor system health and adjust parameters remotely via a dedicated mobile app.
• Vivid Colour Display: An easy-to-read colour screen gives you a comprehensive, at-a-glance view of your entire system's performance right on the unit.
• Universal Battery Compatibility: Selectable charging modes for Lead-acid (default), LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate), Ternary lithium, and custom setups.
• Auto-Sensing Voltage: Automatically recognises 12V, 24V, and 48V systems to seamlessly match your existing battery bank without stuffing around.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What type of networks are supported?

4G, 5G and 6G if it exists in your region.

2. How do I connect the 3 terminals of controller with my wind output wires?

(1) To AC wind turbine, any one of three wires from wind turbine can be connected with any terminal of wind on your controller. For they are non-electrode;

(2) To DC wind output is 2 wires(Positive Negative) , you can connect them with any wind terminals on your controller.

3. What are my connection options when using this controller?

Wind charging and Solar charging are independent, so user can choose any one of the following as the connection method :

(1) Only connect wind turbine generator to charge battery;

(2) Only connect solar to charge battery;

(3) Connect wind turbine and solar to build a hybrid wind solar power system to charge battery.

4. Can I connect wind turbine as generator to charge battery's if I have no solar panels?

Yes, you can. 

5. How to connect my system when I get this controller?

We strongly recommend user to install air switch between all DC and AC input or output. Then please turn on the breaker/ air switch in this order:

(1) First turn on the breaker between battery and controller;

(2) Second turn on the breaker between wind and controller;

(3) Third turn on the breaker between DC load and controller;

(4) Final turn on the breaker between Solar and controller.

Remark: If you want to shut down the system, please proceed in the reverse order as above.

6. Do i need to install additional light protecting for my power system?

Yes, it is best way to install additional light protecting.

7. How the controller to operate when the wind speed is too fast?

(1) For the output voltage or current from wind generator which beyond the safety range, the controller will automatically turn on the brake and gradually slow down. Meanwhile, the dump load will start to consume excess current immediately.

(2) But when encountering strong storm weather, such as hurricane, typhoon, it is strongly recommended to put down the wind turbine immediately.

8. How to design hybrid wind solar power system voltage, 12V, 24V, 48V, which one is best to me?

(1) The system voltage is equivalent to the voltage of the battery pack;

(2) Once the battery voltage designed, the input voltage from wind turbine generator and solar modules must be matched according to the specifications in the parameter table;

(3) Therefore, users cannot simply think that more lower voltage design, can get more bigger charging current but ignore that the excessive current has exceeded the working range of the controller or battery to damage the controller or battery.

9. What is MPPT?

(1) MPPT stands for Maximum Power Point Tracking. It's a technique used in solar charge controllers to maximize the power output from solar panels by ensuring they operate at their maximum power point (MPP). This means the controller constantly adjusts the electrical characteristics of the solar panel output to match the battery's charging requirements, even as sunlight conditions change.

10. When the wind generator is connected to the controller, why does its running speed become very slow immediately?

(1) The battery reaches the floating voltage;

(2) The rated output voltage of the wind generator is much higher than the battery, because the speed of the wind generator is proportional to the output voltage, and the voltage is dragged by the battery, so the speed will be very low;

11. What does the dump load do?

A load dump on a wind turbine diverts excess power away from the batteries when they are fully charged, preventing overcharging and potential damage to the turbine and other components. This excess power is directed to a "dump load," which is often a resistor that dissipates the energy as heat. 

12. Why is there not showing charging current on LCD screen, but the wind turbine is running and or the solar is working?

Only when the input voltage Reach MPPT startup voltage (8V/16V/32V)then it can charge. But the prerequisite is that the battery is properly connected and not fully charged.
