Please read these instructions before use

BMPPT1500-R1

This revolutionary maximum power point tracker solar charger was designed using the technology

that won GSL Electronics the prestigious “2008 EDN Innovation Award” and the “2009 Greentech

Consensus Award”. A simple, efficient and low cost alternative to charge sealed or vented

batteries from low voltage or parallel panels. With built in low voltage disconnect. Compatible with

our MCM module and PC Based GUI.

The BMPPT1500 is designed to automatically charge 24V and 48V sealed and vented lead
acid batteries from silicon based PV panels such as monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin

film.
