Solar Regulators and Maximisers

Plasmatronics:

Plasmatronics are an Australian company who manufacture "state of the art" solar controllers. The Plasmatronics PL series regulators are amongst the best available in the world and offer a huge array of functions beside regulation of your solar array. Apart from being a three stage PWM regulator your PL regulator will offer you the following functions should you ever require them:

Plasmatronics PL Series

• Adjustable All settings are adjustable, units feature voltages from 12 – 48
• Display User friendly alphanumeric LCD gives your words to explain the numbers
• Energy Metering Shows daily charge and discharge amp/hours
• History Records charge and load amp/hours, max and min voltage and state of charge for last 30 days
• Generator Control A sophisticated generator controller in included should you wish to use an auto-start generator
• Event controller Allows loads to be turned on or off under different conditions, ideal for lighting, pumping, frost control etc.
• Protection Protected against short circuit, reverse flow, lightning. Low battery disconnect built in, current limit for over heat of current, conformal coating for maximum corrosion resistance.

These regulators are simple to install and use. Highly recommended! Available in 20 amp, 40 amp and 60 amp sizes.

Small Size Plasmatronics Regulators

Plasmatronics also make a "PR" series regulator. these are ultra compact regulators and are ideal for small systems up to 10 amps. So small you can install it in the panel lead, these simple switch regulators work very well. A good choice for single panel installations with up to 10 amps solar current. Available in 12 or 24 volt, for sealed or flooded type batteries (specify).

Solar Maximisers

Outback Power "Flexmax" maximisers:

The FLEXmax family of charge controllers is the latest innovation in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power Systems. The innovative FLEXmax MPPT software algorithm is both continuous and active, increasing your photovoltaic array power yield up to 30% compared to non-MPPT controllers. Thanks to active cooling and intelligent thermal management cooling, both FLEXmax charge controllers can operate at their full maximum current rating, 60 Amps or 80 Amps respectively, in ambient temperatures as high as 104°F (40°C).

Xantrex XW controller

The Xantrex Solar Charge Controller is a photovoltaic (PV) charge controller that tracks the electrical maximum power point of a PV array to deliver the maximum available current for charging batteries. The XW SCC can be used with 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60-volt DC battery systems.
