MPPT Charger 20A

Hackable and open source MPPT solar charge controller

This is the new version of the charge controller, now based on 32 bit ARM MCU instead of ATmega AVR, in order to be able to implement CANopen stack.

Moved from Eagle to KiCAD because of the new license model introduced by Autodesk. Caution: Developed using nightly build of KiCAD (better STEP export).

Charge controller PCB

Features:

  • 20A MPPT charger (buck converter)
  • 55V max PV input
  • 12V or 24V battery output
  • 32bit ARM MCU (STM32F072)
  • CAN communication interface with CANopen standard RJ45 jacks (including 10V power supply)
  • Expandable via Olimex Universal Extension Connector (UEXT) featuring I2C, Serial and SPI interface (e.g. used for display, WIFI communication, etc.)
  • Compatible to Hammond Mfg 1591XXCFL housing
  • 5V switchable signal output
  • USB connector for programming etc.
  • Can be used as boost converter with software change

Built-in protection:

  • Overvoltage
  • Undervoltage
  • Overcurrent
  • PV short circuit
  • PV reverse polarity (for max. module open circuit voltage of around 40V)
  • Battery reverse polarity (destructive, fuse is blown)
