Overview of functions:
Professional charging strategy for
all lithium-ion batteries
The Steca Tarom MPPT 6000-M is the first MPPT charge controller to
also offer the option of charging lithium-ion batteries professionally
using PV current. The latest research results in this area were used in its
development, which took place in close cooperation with renowned,
international research institutes. A self-developed charge strategy can
be perfectly adapted to all available lithium chemistries using a wide
range of parameters.
Professional charging of
NiCd batteries
Alkaline chemicals like NiCd batteries can also be charged using the
innovative Steca Tarom MPPT 6000-M (Steca PA HS400 required). A
professional, configurable charging characteristic curve is available for
this, which can be adapted to special battery and system prerequisites.
Particularly with professional use, this charge strategy opens up entirely
new possibilities.
Revolutionary innovative algorithms
for lead batteries
State of charge (SOC):
The Steca Tarom MPPT 6000-M is equipped with a new type of highly
flexible algorithm for precise SOC calculations for nearly all lead-acid
batteries enabling automatic adaptation to battery and user behaviour.
This enables the current state of charge to be assessed at any time.
Battery capacity test
The Steca Tarom MPPT 6000-M has an entirely new and professional
battery capacity measurement system, which determines the actual ca-
pacity of the battery. To date, capacity generally had to be measured by
the battery manufacturer in a complex process or locally with additional
measuring equipment. In the Steca Tarom MPPT 6000-M, the Steca PA
HS400 electricity sensor can measure the capacity and supply informa-
tion on battery ageing.
This revolutionary new development provides advanced inspection
options for users, operators and manufacturers – e.g. for awarding bat-
tery warranties based on the actual residual capacity.
IUIa charging:
Depending on the battery type and its condition, the battery capacity
can be increased by up to 20 percent with a constant current char-
ging phase following a full charge of the lead-acid batteries (IUIa char-
ge). This function is now available for the first time for stand-alone PV
systems too in the Steca Tarom MPPT 6000-M.
DOUBLE AWARDEE
The Steca Tarom MPPT solar charge controller sets new stan-
dards in the area of Maximum Power Point trackers. There-
fore the Steca Tarom MPPT 6000-M has won even two famous
awards
The Steca Tarom MPPT 6000-M dual MPPT peak charge controller,
which won the renowned OTTI Innovation Prize, was awarded the
Intersolar Award 2014 at the world‘s largest trade fair for the solar
sector.
This innovative product won over the judges due to its outstanding
benefits. At 3.6 kW, the appliance is suitable for nearly all lithium-ion
batteries. In addition to complex charging algorithms, the charge con-
troller features battery diagnosis, a long-term data logger, interfaces
and exceptionally high efficiency: the Steca Tarom MPPT 6000-M is the
first charge controller to achieve a conversion efficiency of 99 percent
as measured in the field. The unit provides extremely practical answers
to issues raised by the current wave of technological change gripping
the photovoltaic sector.
