Flexcharge NC 25A/36, 25A Wind Hydro Solar Charge Controller
Flexcharge NC 25A/36, 25 Amp 36 Volt Hydro Wind, Solar, hybrid charge controller.
Many people are setting up hybrid alternative energy sources such as solar / wind and solar / hydro to get the most out of their site location. Whether you have a hybrid or single source of alternative energy the NC 25A/36 charge controllers allow you to optimize power production.
When using the following charge controller, a blocking diode is needed for each photovoltaic module to prevent night time power draw through the modules.
A blocking diode also protects photovoltaic modules from voltage spikes produced by permanent magnet generators such as used in wind and hydro generators.
The are easy to install in the "J" box (junction box) on each panel.
All multi-panel solar systems should include diodes to protect the panels from each other in times of shading, panel breakdown, ground fault problems and for night time isolation from battery.
These charge controllers utilize diversion charge control. Once the batteries are fully charged, this allows you to send excess power to another load such as a water or air heating element. By doing this, you are able to use more of the power produced by your alternative energy source.
Flexcharge charge controllers have a peak charge efficiency of 99.9% resulting in a very high yield of power going to your batteries and loads.
These can be used with flooded or sealed (AGM or gel cell) batteries as well as for use with flooded cell Ni-Cad batteries.
The LED on the front indicates charging, low battery and when the controller is in the diversion mode.
Features:
36 volts, 25 amps for solar, wind, hydro or a combination.
Adjustable output from 42.3 to 46.5 volts.
Factory pre-set at 42.75 volts.
These are quite popular for use with golf carts and some of the older wind generators.
