10A MPPT Solar Charge Controller with LCD Display
Model: TR1215BN-RM | 12V/24V Auto | 150V Max PV Input
The photonicuniverse TR1215BN-RM is a high-efficiency 10A MPPT solar charge controller designed to optimise power output from your solar panels. This advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology ensures your solar system operates at peak efficiency, outperforming standard PWM controllers, especially when solar panel voltage significantly exceeds battery voltage.
Ideal for various off-grid applications, this controller automatically recognises 12V or 24V battery systems and supports a wide solar input voltage range up to 150V. It comes complete with a remote LCD meter and a 5-metre cable for convenient system monitoring and customisation.
KEY ADVANTAGE: MPPT technology maximises energy harvest, allowing for higher voltage solar panels to charge lower voltage battery banks efficiently.

Common Questions
What is MPPT technology and why is it beneficial?
MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology dynamically adjusts the electrical operating point of solar panels to extract the maximum possible power under varying conditions. This results in higher energy yield compared to traditional PWM controllers, especially in colder weather or when panel voltage is much higher than battery voltage.
Can I use this controller with a 36V solar panel and a 12V battery?
Yes, this controller is specifically designed for such scenarios. Its MPPT technology efficiently converts higher solar panel voltage (up to 150V) down to the battery voltage (12V or 24V), significantly improving system efficiency compared to non-MPPT controllers.
What types of batteries are compatible with this charge controller?
The controller is compatible with Sealed, Gel, and Flooded lead-acid batteries. It also offers a user-defined battery type setting, allowing for custom charging parameters if the pre-existing options are not suitable for your specific battery chemistry.
What is the purpose of the remote LCD meter?
The remote LCD meter allows you to monitor various charging parameters such as voltage, current (for solar panel and load), and battery state of charge. It also records accumulated energy and provides options to adjust charging settings and load control functions from a convenient location, up to 5 metres away.
Installation Notes
- Ensure the controller is mounted in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Always connect the battery to the controller first, then the solar panels, and finally the load.
- Use appropriate cable gauges for all connections to minimise voltage drop and ensure safety.
- Refer to the detailed user manual for specific wiring diagrams and installation instructions.
- The controller features negative common grounding.
Before You Buy
- Verify your total solar panel power does not exceed 130W for 12V systems or 260W for 24V systems.
- Confirm your solar panel's open-circuit voltage (Voc) is below 150V.
- Check your battery type (Sealed, Gel, Flooded) for compatibility or plan to use the user-defined settings.
- Consider the physical dimensions (19.6 x 11.8 x 3.6 cm) for your intended mounting location.
- Ensure you have suitable wiring (up to 4mm) for the solar, battery, and load terminals.
Please verify all specifications and compatibility requirements before purchase. This product is covered by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
