Blue Sky Energy (formerly RV Power Products)

Blue Sky Energy controllers employ Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) which increases charge current up to 30%. These controllers offer Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) charge voltage control using reliable power MOSFET transistors. A fully automatic electronic current limit prevents overload. A manual equalize function is also provided to periodically condition liquid electrolyte lead acid batteries. A digital display shows battery voltage, solar panel current, output charge current, charge mode and state-of-charge. The controllers feature an advanced fully automatic three-stage charge control system to ensure the battery is properly and fully charged. An optional digital display for both can be provided in the controller or as a remote panel installed up to 300’ away (or both). The 2000E includes a multifunction digital display. The 6024H is specially designed to receive a high voltage 36V or 48V PV array input and charge a 12V or 24V battery at up to 60A. Solar Boost 3048, 50 and 6024H are ETL listed. 36-month limited warranty. Features: - Patented MPPT technology - Multi-stage PWM charge control -  Durable powder coat finish - Conformal coated electronics - 3 year extended warranty - Optional temperature compensation
