OutBack Energy offers a number of components for both on and off grid solar arrays. One of their leading sears is the FLEXmax charge controllers which features continuous Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology. The FLEXmax can increase your solar energy output by up to 30% when compared to competing MPPT controllers. The charge controllers rare fully network integrated and programmable, giving end users the ultimate control over their controllers. Data and logging can be accessed for up to 128 days so you can get a strong overview of your energy performance. Pro Tip: keep an active log of your energy performance and the ambient environment to find potential weaknesses in the battery backup system. Active cooling and intelligent thermal management cooling allows the controllers to operate at their full maximum current rating.
When seeking high performance and industry leading
technology, OutBack Power FLEXmax is well worth looking into. All FLEXmax
charge controllers are the revolutionary features first developed by OutBack
Power, which includes support for a wide range of nominal battery voltages and
the ability to step down a higher-voltage solar array to recharge a lower-voltage
battery bank. The wide range of programmable steps makes the series a great fit
for a wide range of energy outputs. The adjustable settings also provide an
option for homeowners to add onto their systems, saving them from costly
replacements for charge controllers that cannot handle their new excess energy
generation.
*FLEXpower Pre-Wired Systems
The FLEXmax is one of the key components in the FLEXpower pre-wired systems that covers everything that is needed for outside power sources and battery backup systems into a single prewired panel. The FLEXmax works along with the other OutBack Power components under strict testing guidelines to ensure complete energy control and compatibility. The series works best for cabins, chalets, homes, remote communication sites and backup power systems, accommodating all essential protective devices in the smallest system footprint possible and in the most cost-effective manner. The guess work is taken out of the equation, and complicated sizing calculators are no longer needed as the work is taken care of for you. As with most solar installations all configurations must comply with local and national electric codes. It is highly recommended that you consult your local electric authority to ensure compliance. Actual wiring requirements may vary from location to location.
OutBack Power components are not only compatible with other OutBack Power products. Across the board, the FLEXmax works with numerous battery installers, meters and so on. If you have an existing array, you will simply need to check all technical specifications such as VAC, VDC, amps and circuit match up with one another. Their measuring tools will assist you in setting up your new system or adding to your existing system. The flexibility of the charge controllers is important for any manufacturer and solar arrays will benefit in the overall performance of the system as well as protect your system components. In terms of energy output the FLEXmax series offers some of the best specifications in the industry.
