EPEVER TRACER8420AN

The powerful MPPT solar controller 8420AN brings a reliable solution for larger systems with panel voltage up to 200 V and max. charging current 80 A. Battery 12/24/36/48 V, PV max. 1000/2000/3000/4000Wp. MPPT solar controller EPEVER Tracer 8420AN - new generation of powerful solar controllers brings high quality and maximum equipment for PV systems. The Tracer AN series features high charging performance, making it suitable for larger island and hybrid systems. A multifunctional display is integrated directly into the MPPT controller for easy monitoring of the system and possible setting of operating parameters incl. control LEDs.

Features

The regulator works as an inverter, that is, it can process a higher input voltage and a lower current to a lower voltage and a higher current with high efficiency. So we can use practically any solar panel. The controller is compatible with lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries.

Technology

Tracer AN series regulator based on multi-phase synchronous rectification technology (MSRT) and advanced MPPT control algorithm, with dual-core processor architecture and common minus pole. MSRT can guarantee a very high conversion efficiency at any charging power, which clearly improves the energy efficiency of the solar system. The advanced MPPT control algorithm minimizes power loss and dead time, ensures tracking efficiency as well as high conversion efficiency at high or low power, so that in any situation, Tracer AN products can quickly track the maximum operating voltage of the PV array to extract maximum energy from the panel.

Monitoring and settings

Setting the controller parameters (mainly the type of battery used) is done using the built-in LCD or external display MT50 (not part of the controller). There are three basic types of batteries: hermetically sealed, gel, flooded. The fourth option is a user-adjustable battery (here you can set any parameters).

Load or automatic generator control relays facilitate the creation of a hybrid power system. Comprehensive electronic protections, including overcharge protection, overdischarge protection and PV reverse polarity protection, effectively ensure safer and more reliable operation of the solar system for a longer period of time. The isolated RS485 interface with standard MODBUS communication protocol and 5V power supply makes it easy for the consumer to expand the device, supports the operation of up to 8 controllers in a row to expand the system, and meets various monitoring requirements, so it can be used in various devices, such as solar RV, home systems, field monitoring etc.
