The most efficient, high-yield battery charging technology available, at a price normally associated with PWM designs. In any PV/solar energy system with energy storage, performance is dependent on the batteries, and the batteries in turn entirely depend on the charge controller for charging efficiency and longevity. SmartHarvest makes it possible for a wider range of PV solar electricity systems to take full advantage of premium Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charging technology with the SCCM20-100—MPPT, for the price of the usual Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) style products generally found in smaller-scale systems. The SmartHarvest SCCM20-100 improves system economics in several ways. It is designed for installation and set-up simplicity, reducing labor time in the field. By maximizing solar energy harvesting under a wider variety of environmental conditions, MPPT technology helps the system extract as much electricity as possible for more effective energy storage. It is ideal for use in a wide-range of residential, light commercial, agricultural, community and other applications that can benefit from better yields through more advanced charge controller technology.

The most economical means of integrating MPPT technology into any PV system SmartHarvest's mission is to make the advanced technologies usually associated with premium PV energy systems available to users regardless of their system sizes or budgets. The SCCM10-100 accomplishes this goal by placing MPPT charge controller capability within the reach of a much wider application base, ensuring higher system yeilds at the power and size levels where that advantage can make the most difference. By maximizing solar energy harvesting under a wider variety of environmental conditions, MPPT technology helps the system extract as much electricity as possible for more effective energy storage -- making the innovative SCCM10-100 ideal for use in efficiency-driven applications that can benefit from improved, advanced charger technology.

The right charge controller for small or singel-purpose Photvoltaic (PV) systems. PMW charge controllers are an elegant, proven system solutions. SmartHarvest's SCCP05-050 scales this economical solution for use in small PV systems dedicated to specific applications, such as powering a light, an appliance or charging a back-up battery system connected to a smart phone, PC, wireless network adapter or other critical electronic device. PMW charge controllers use advanced digital signal processing to anticipate battery charging needs and affect the right amount of control. They are an excellent choice for smaller systems operating under consistent solar conditions where utilizing economical PWM technology helps allocate more of the system budget to other areas such as energy storage. The SCCP05-050 is the perfect charging solution when performance and economics are of equal priority

The most cost effective option for integrating energy storage into PV system design. With the goal of making an elegant, proven system power electronics type even better, SmartHarvest has elevated the PMW baseline with its SCCP charge controllers to give every system the benefits of both high-efficiency and economy. PMW charge controllers use advanced digital signal processing to anticipate battery charging needs and affect the right amount of control. The SCCP10-050 is an excellent choice for smaller systems operating under consistent solar conditions where utilizing an economical PMW technology helps to allocate more of the system bedget to energy-producing components such as additional panels. The SCCP10-050 is not only the right tool for the job, but the right investment over the life of the system through dependable, long-term performance engineering by SmartHarvest.

The SmartHarvest by OutBack Solar Power Station (SPS) line consists of five manufactured, outdoor rated, solar-powered solutions designed to make it easy to power lower-voltage DC systems at remote sites. Think of them as “south-facing electrical outlets” that can provide continuous DC power in areas where there are no sources of electricity nearby—the ideal alternative to grid power for operating DC loads in the field. SPS eliminates the need for trenching a power line or installing power poles to the site. The five systems are designed to operate with a solar resource of approximately 3 hours a day or more depending on solar conditions and other factors (continental USA average); their powering capacities range from typical continuous load support of 11-47W, and (depending on location and solar conditions) maximum loads from 24-95W. SPS models are engineered for continuous, autonomous and automatic operation with little field maintenance required once installed and connected. And they can go practically anywhere, with powder-coated NEMA 3R rated enclosures to resist weather extremes, and solar racking designed to withstand up to 90 mph winds. The on-board EnergyCell RE batteries and charge controller are engineered for long service life under a wide range of temperature conditions. Built-in breakers protect all sensitive internal circuits.
