Product Description:
Morningstar's SK-6 SunKeeper solar controller provides a low cost regulated output directly from the solar module to maximize battery life in small solar power applications.
Specifications
  • High Reliability - Rated to 70C to operate in high temperatures at the solar module. More reliable than controllers mounted inside the junction box. Uses very low on-resistance power MOSFETs. No need to re-rate.
  • Outdoor Rated - ETL approved for outdoor use without an additional enclosure. Rugged IP65, UV resistant case. Epoxy encapsulated printed circuit board and watertight connection to the module junction box.
  • Extensive Electronic Protections - Fully protected against reverse polarity, short circuit, overcurrent, lightning
and transient surges, high temperature and reverse current at night.
  • Longer Battery Life - Series PWM with 3 stage charging: bulk, PWM regulation and float. Includes temperature compensation at the controller or alternatively at the battery when using optional remote temperature sensor. Able to charge a zero voltage battery.
  • Rated for Hazardous Locations - Specifically designed for solar power systems in the oil/gas industry.
Approved for use in Class 1, Division 2, Groups A,B,C,D.
  • More Information - Bi-color LED is easy to read from the ground when the solar module is pole-mounted. Indicates solar charging, regulation, normal nighttime operation and any controller or system faults.
  • Easy to Install - Fits standard half inch conduit knockout (PG 13.5, M20) in module junction box. Quickly fastens with included locknut. Wires have fork connectors for easy connection to solar module terminals.
