Mastervolt SCM60 MPPT-MB Solar Charge Regulator

Increase the efficiency of solar panels

The Mastervolt SCM60 MPPT-MB Solar Charge Regulator is Mastervolt’s largest MPPT solar charge regulator. With 600 to 3600 Wp in solar panels, connections for 12, 24 and 48-volt battery banks, and an integrated MasterBus connection, this Solar ChargeMaster is perfect for large and medium-sized systems. The innovative technology in the Mastervolt MPPT charge regulators increases the efficiency of the solar panels. The SCM60 MPPT-MB charges your batteries up to 30% faster than PWM regulators – with the same number of panels.

Besides the traditional 36 and 72-cell panels, the Mastervolt SCM60 MPPT-MB Solar Charge Regulator is also ideal for the inexpensive 60-cell panels. A maximum input voltage of 145 V makes it possible to connect several panels in series, reducing the required cable length, installation time and power loss significantly.

Robust, easy to use, safe and flexible
Besides the traditional 36 and 72-cell panels, the SCM25 MPPT is also ideal for the inexpensive 60-cell panels.

The smart logic of MasterBus
The SCM25 MPPT is suitable for all battery types, including Mastervolt Lithium-Ion. The charging profiles for all types of batteries are pre-programmed and can be selected at the push of a button. The SCM25 MPPT is quiet and equipped with a very user-friendly, clear display. Built-in protection against overload, high/low battery voltage, overheating, short circuits and reverse polarity ensures that safety comes first. Moreover, the SCM25 MPPT has a robust casing and is protected against condensation in conformity with IP23.

More comfort and independence
Use the power of MasterBus to switch on your water heater as soon as the battery is fully charged. Or link the Solar ChargeMaster via MasterBus to a Mastervolt Lithium Ion battery, removing the need for the disconnect relays usually required for this type of battery. The possibilities are endless.
