The AP96-100C is a specialised MPPT solar charge controller designed for high-voltage 96V battery systems, addressing a significant gap in the AP-Series for specific industrial and telecommunications applications. It delivers a rated current of 100A and a peak charging current of 102A, making it well-suited to manage the unique demands of high-voltage energy storage. This specific voltage architecture reduces current flow for the same amount of power, allowing for thinner cabling and reduced transmission losses in large-scale installations.

A key operational highlight of the AP96-100C is its wide MPPT operating voltage range of 120VDC to 200VDC. This broad input window provides system designers with tremendous flexibility when configuring solar arrays. This product facilitates the use of long series strings of solar panels, which is essential for minimising voltage drop over long cable runs often found in remote industrial sites or large agricultural facilities. The controller has been designed to accommodate higher input voltages, thereby ensuring stable operation even when panel temperatures fluctuate significantly. This maintains a consistent charge to the 96V battery bank without tripping low-voltage warnings common in lower-voltage systems.

In the field of high-power systems, efficiency is of the utmost importance, and the AP96-100C model delivers outstanding performance with a conversion efficiency of ≥99%. This near-perfect efficiency means that almost all the energy harvested from the sun is stored rather than lost as heat. Additionally, the unit supports RS485 communication, facilitating seamless integration into complex Building Management Systems (BMS) or industrial monitoring networks. The AP96-100C is a versatile solution that can be used for telecom base stations or large-scale backup power. It combines high-voltage expertise with robust performance to ensure uninterrupted power availability.
