Steca Tarom 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controller (S-Type)
Dual MPPT Inputs | Advanced Battery Management | For Off-Grid Solar Systems
The Steca Tarom 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controller (S-Type) is engineered for robust performance in off-grid solar systems, offering advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology. Designed and manufactured by Steca Electronik, a leader in off-grid solar electronics, this controller ensures optimal energy harvest from your solar panels and professional battery care.
Featuring two independent MPPT trackers and dual solar inputs, the Tarom 6000-S can efficiently manage two different solar module arrays, even if they vary in size or orientation. It supports 12V, 24V, and 48V battery banks, with a rated charging current of 60A, making it suitable for a wide range of off-grid applications.
SYSTEM EXPANSION NOTE: For networking multiple Steca Tarom MPPT S-type controllers, one Steca Tarom MPPT M-type controller is required to enable communication and synchronisation of the charging process.

Common Questions
What battery types are compatible with the Steca Tarom 6000-S?
The Steca Tarom 6000-S is compatible with lead-acid batteries, including AGM, Gel, and flooded types. It supports 12V, 24V, and 48V nominal battery voltages. 36V and 60V batteries can also be charged using specific settings in the expert menu.
Can I connect multiple solar arrays to this controller?
Yes, the Steca Tarom 6000-S features two independent MPPT trackers and two inputs, allowing you to connect and optimise power from two separate solar module arrays, even if they have different characteristics or orientations.
How does the S-type controller integrate into larger systems?
Multiple Steca Tarom MPPT S-type controllers can be linked in a network. For effective communication and synchronisation of charging processes across such a network, at least one Steca Tarom MPPT M-type controller is required. An M-type can communicate with up to 22 S-type units.
What is the warranty period for this controller?
The Steca Tarom 60A MPPT Solar Controller (S-Type) is covered by a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.
Installation Notes
- Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional to ensure safety and compliance.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the controller to prevent overheating.
- Always connect the battery to the charge controller first, then the solar panels. Disconnect in reverse order.
- Verify all wiring connections are secure and correctly polarised before applying power.
- Refer to the official Steca instruction manual for detailed installation diagrams and safety guidelines.
Before You Buy
- Confirm your battery bank's nominal voltage (12V, 24V, or 48V) matches the controller's capabilities.
- Calculate the total power of your solar array to ensure it does not exceed the controller's maximum input (900W/12V, 1800W/24V, 3600W/48V).
- Verify your battery type is compatible (lead-acid: AGM, Gel, flooded).
- If planning a multi-controller system, remember an M-type controller is needed for S-type networking.
- Consider the IP31 rating, indicating suitability for indoor, protected environments.
Please verify all specifications and compatibility requirements with your specific solar system components and consult a qualified installer for professional advice. Product specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer.
