maximizes the energy harvest from the PV and provides load control to prevent over
discharge of the battery.
The OCU Gen 3.0 MPPT CC is dedicated designed for professional PV applications in
standalone solar lighting system. The battery temperature sensor adhered to it and its
charging process has been optimized for long battery life and improved system performance. The product is polyurethane encapsulated for environment protection and
preventing against invasion (IP67), could be commissionable and accessible by users via
a personal computer.

Typical application
Standalone off-grid solar lighting system
Features and advantages
Maximizes energy harvest
Peak eciency of over 97% (+20% eciency higher than
PWM charge controller), MPPT eciency certied by DEKRA
Almost no power losses to support system withstanding long
period of no-day-light time and decrease maintenance cost
Recognition of multiple power peaks during shading
Good performance at low sun irradiation levels
Dedicated design for solar lighting system
Enables output of standard voltage (17.5V and 35V) for
o-grid battery charging.
Lower system initial cost
Less expensive than other controllers and is aordable in
smaller PV systems up to 380Wp. Enables system costs to
be reduced by down-sizing the PV panel conguration.
Multiple working modes to applications
General purpose (all-time on)
Dusk to dawn (default)
Pre-set timing (enables users to pre-set working hours after
dusk)
Evening-morning working mode (lighting system operation
triggered once dusk and working hours last before dawn)
(enables users to pre-set working hours after dusk and
before dawn*)
*intelligent self-learning mode
Slim size and fool-proof connectors
Compact dimension makes it easier to install in equipment
enclosures.
Certied IP67 connectors

Self-recovery ability
It enables system waken up from hibernate mode without
manual interference due to long black-out days
Automatic lighting control
Enables lighting systems work automatically according to
pre-setting and sun irradiation intensity.
Fully commissionable and accessible
Enables user to commissioning and access charge controller
and system via RS485 port to PC, make conguration
upgradable after installation
Extensive electronic protections
Fully protected against most system errors and faults
Enhanced Surge protection to grow reliability, It is specially
designed to withstand 2KV/4KV surge voltage, which is far
beyond normal MPPT charge controller [typ. 500/1KV].
Longer battery life and compatible with both lead acid and
Li-ion battery
Ecient temperature compensation and 4-stage charging
prolong battery life
Easy visibility
LED indicators make it visible to users with system operation
status.
Data* logging
Records of key operating parameters of the solar lighting
system and max 8 weeks of data logging
*(panel VI, battery VIT, loads VI and daily harvest energy and
power consumption)

Highly reliable
Ecient electronics, a conservative thermal design and
tropicalization result in high reliability and long life.
