BMPPT FAQs
Q: What is an BMPPT?
BMPPT stands for Booster Maximum Power Point Tracker and is a specialised converter designed to
maintain the PV voltage at the level in which it delivers maximum power to the load or battery while at
the same time boosting the output voltage above the input. The nominal panel output power can only
be ensured with the use of an MPPT
Q: When is a BMPPT Required?
The BMPPT is required when the panel voltage is below the battery voltage such as when a 12V panel
needs to charge a 24V battery.
The BMPPT enables the parallel connection of panels which can make the system more tolerant to
partial shading when compared to series panel connection.

Q: What sort of batteries should I use?
1.
A deep cycle battery is a must due to the cyclical nature of the solar system with a
recommended battery capacity of at least 180AH.
2.
A larger battery will not only give longer run time during low light but also will be able to avoid
available PV power being unstored such as when battery reaches the float stage.
