Apollo T80 Charge Controller, 80 amp MPPT Battery Charge Management System

Power and Control in a Single Device
The T80 TurboChargerTM integrates Maximum Power Point Tracking, battery charge management, state of charge information and communications into a single device. With 80 Amps continuous output, the T80 has the largest capacity in the industry by over 30%.

Continuous Power Rating Up to 113F (45C) Ambient
The T80 TurboChargerTM produces full-rated power without de-rating up to 45C ambient temperature. Above that, the output current is reduced gradually to protect the life of the T80 and then automatically ramped up as the temperature decreases. high efficiency power circuits and robust thermal design minimize heat generation. The internal temperature-controlled variable speed fan runs just fast enough to maintain optimum reliability.

Energy Monitor Built In
The T80 includes a built-in Energy Monitor using TriMetricTM Technology from Bogart Engineering. The monitor tracks power production and consumption to calculate the energy remaining in the batter. State of Charge (SOC) is displayed in Percent Full, Amp-hours, Watt-Hours, and Bar-Graph format. In addition, 90 days of energy-harvest history is stored in the T80.

Enhanced Battery Performance and Life
The T80 supports Flooded Lead Acid (FLA), GEL and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries. Four-stage charging with adjustable set points for all parameters.

Optimum MPPT/Charging Efficiency Cuts Costs
The T80 captures up to 35% more power from the photovoltaic (PV) array with patent-pending MPPT technology. The Apollo MPPT algorithm starts early and locks onto the peak power during rapidly changing insolatrion and temperature. The T80 dramatically cuts the cost of a PV system by reducing the number of PV panels required, eliminating the need for heavy gauge wiring, and increasing the life of the storage batteries.

Integral Performance-and-Updated Communications
The slot for optional add-in cards provides data communication to Remote Displays, PCs and the Internet. System performance can be monitored remotely and the T80 accepts software upgrades using a PC and the Remote Display's SD Memory Card.

Apollo Low Temperature Overvoltage Bypass

Protect PV System Equipment From High PV Open-Circuit Voltages At Low Temperatures

Automatically Bypasses PV Module at Low Temperatures to Drop Voc

Expand the Input Voltage Range of any Inverter or Charge Controller

  • Add extra PV module to every string
  • Use with any modules up to 85 Voc
  • Any string voltage up to 600 VDC
  • Switch up to 8 Amps per string
  • Choice of temperature point
Complete Safety at the Lowest of Temperatures without Compromising the High-Temperature Performance.
  • Size arrays for maximum power and forget the cold/Voc problem
  • MC connectors - quick wiring
  • Sticks to back of anhy module
  • Very low power consumption
  • Failsafe to low voltage output
Modules available for 32F to 50F (0C or 10C) (Other temperature modules on request)

Size the PV Array for Optimum Performance
Every PV array can now be sized without regards to high open circuit voltages at low termperatures. The Apollo Solar LTOB automatically switches modules out of the circuit if the temperature falls below the specified point.

Simple, Reliable Operation.
On the graph (see data sheet), the LTOB removes 1 module from the 6-module string keeping Voc under 140V. When the temperature falls below (50F) 10C the LTOB turns on and the top module is switched out of the circuit so the Voc drops to 120V. The 5-module string is below the 140V limit down to -40C. When the temperature rises, the LTOB turns off and the module is switched back into the circuit.

Fast, Easy Installation
The Apollo Solar LTOB units are supplied with an adhesive tape on the back side. Just peel off the backing layer and stick the LTOB and Temperature Sensor to the back of the PV module to be cut from the string. Simply snap the MC connectors together as shown in the diagram (see data sheet). At normal or high temperatures the LTOB connects straight through and the PV array functions normally.

Specifications
  • Maximum PV Module Voc: 85 VDC (Sanyo HIT200 PV modules are 79.88 Voc at -40C)
  • Maximum String Voltage: 600 VDC
  • Maximum String Current: 8 amps DC
  • LTOB Power Consumption: 10 mA from the PV module
  • Model Number: 0 10 (Other temperatures available on request).
  • Turn off temperature: 0C 10C
  • Turn on temperature: 5C 15C
  • Temperature-switch accuracy: +/- 2C
  • Environmental rating: NEMA 4
