Charge controllers are generally used to extend the life of a battery in an energy system, by preventing it from overcharging and complete discharging. As a component of an off grid solar power system, a charge controller is required and regulates solar modules charging current. They can come in many different sizes and can offer many functions that can be specific to a design application and/or protection.
SW Energy has many different types of charge controllers designed to work with various systems.

FLEXmax 60/80
The FLEXmax family of charge controllers is the latest innovation in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power. 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).
FLEXmax 100
The FLEXmax 100 is the latest innovation in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power. The advanced FM100 MPPT algorithm offers increased energy harvest from the PV array than other MPPT controllers. The FLEXmax 100 delivers both higher voltage and higher power, offering improved flexibility and performance.
OutBack network communications and OPTICS RE compatibility allows the FLEXmax 100 to be remotely programmed, monitored and controlled via any internet connected device providing unrivalled system integration. The FM100-300VDC is a top-of-the-line high performance, efficient and versatile charge controller for your advanced power system.
