The AERL RACEMAX 600B is a high current, high efficiency, boost-only race-trim maximum power point tracker. It employs a tracking strategy which regulates the PV array voltage to a fixed percentage of its open circuit voltage. This tracking strategy has been proven to be highly robust, immune to local extrema, and results in power losses of less than 0.5% over the whole operating temperature range of a PV array.
The RACEMAX 600B is an ideal choice for solar car teams looking to get the most out of their PV array,
AERL RACEMAX 600B Features:
- High 98-99% operating eficiency
- Compatible with all types of solar cells and battery arrays
- Passive cooling & no moving parts results in highly reliable operation to 50°C
- Output voltage options of 72, 96, 120, 144V
- Compact and lightweight design, weighing only 750g
- Charges higher voltage battery packs from lower voltage solar arrays
