3. Prodott Aktarview
The BougeRV Sunflow MPPT Solar Charge Controller 60A is designed for efficient solar power management. Key features include:
- LiFePO4 Battery Compatibility: Includes low-temperature cut-off charging (below 0°C / 32°F) to protect LiFePO4 batteries. It can also reactivate dormant 12V or 24V LiFePO4 batteries that have been shut down due to short circuits or over-discharge.
- Smart LCD and App Control: Features a backlit LCD display and remote app control via Bluetooth (up to 32 feet range). The 'Solar' APP provides real-time status for solar panels, batteries, and loads. The controller offers three display operation modes: Full-featured, No-load, and Viewing.
- Iċċarġjar b'Effiċjenza Għolja: The controller can adjust the charge current from 0A to 60A. It achieves a tracking efficiency of up to 99.5% and a peak conversion efficiency of up to 99%, maximizing solar panel output. An integrated aluminum heat sink aids in heat dissipation, minimizing power loss during full-load operation.
- Integrated Protection Features: Certified by CE and RoHS. Features a dual MOS circuit to prevent reverse current and reduce operational heat. Includes 6 protection mechanisms: over-temperature, open-circuit, short-circuit, overload, reverse polarity, and current flow backward prevention.

4. Gwida għall-Installazzjoni
4.1 Konnessjonijiet tal-Wiring
Follow the wiring sequence below to prevent damage to the controller or system components. Always connect the battery first, then the solar panels, and finally the load.
- Qabbad il-batterija: Connect the 12V/24V battery to the controller's battery terminals (BAT+ and BAT-). Ensure correct polarity. This step is crucial for the controller to recognize the system voltage and activate the display.
- Qabbad il-Pannelli Solari: Connect the solar panel array to the controller's PV terminals (PV+ and PV-). Ensure correct polarity and that the maximum PV input voltage (95V) and power (900W/12V, 1800W/24V) are not exceeded.
- Qabbad it-Tagħbija (Mhux obbligatorju): Connect your DC loads to the controller's load terminals (LOAD+ and LOAD-).
Wire specifications: 15-8AWG.

4.2 Immuntar
Mount the controller vertically on a non-flammable surface in a dry, well-ventilated indoor location. Allow sufficient clearance around the controller for proper heat dissipation.
5. Gwida tal-Operazzjoni
5.1 LCD Display Overview
The controller features a backlit LCD display that shows system status and parameters. Use the 'SELECT' and 'ENTER' buttons to navigate and adjust settings.

5.2 Modi ta' Ħidma
The controller supports three working modes:
- Full-featured Mode: All functions are accessible and editable via the buttons on the device. This mode allows comprehensive parameter adjustments without needing the mobile app.
- No-load Mode: Designed for systems where the load output of the controller is not utilized. Load-related settings are hidden, simplifying navigation.
- ViewModalità ta' tħaddim: Allows monitoring of system status parameters only. Parameters cannot be edited in this mode.
Figura 5.2: Aktarview of the three operational modes.
5.3 Switching Working Modes
To switch between working modes:
- Press and hold the 'SELECT' button for 5 seconds until the working mode icon on the display flashes.
- Use the 'SELECT' button to cycle through the available modes (Full-featured, No-load, Viewing).
- Once the desired mode is displayed, press and hold the 'ENTER' button for 2 seconds to save the setting.
