The Rich Solar 60 Amp MPPT Solar Charge Controller Charges 12V to 48V Battery Banks From Up to 3,200W of Solar

The Rich Solar 60 Amp MPPT Solar Charge Controller (RS-MPPT60) delivers up to 60A of charging current and automatically detects 12V, 24V, 36V or 48V battery systems. Rich Solar rates it for up to 800W of solar at 12V, 1,600W at 24V, 2,400W at 36V and 3,200W at 48V, with up to 99% MPPT tracking efficiency and up to 98% conversion efficiency.

With a 150V maximum solar input, the controller can take long series strings of panels, which keeps current and wire size down on larger arrays. It supports sealed, gel, flooded and lithium batteries, can charge over-discharged lithium batteries, and connects to the optional Rich Solar BT-1 Bluetooth module through its RS232 port.


Rich Solar 60 Amp MPPT Solar Charge Controller Features

60A of MPPT Charging

Maximum power point tracking keeps your panels at their most productive operating point and converts surplus voltage into charging current. Up to 60A of output makes this controller a fit for large battery banks in cabins, homes and big RVs.

12V, 24V, 36V and 48V Auto Detection

The controller identifies the battery system voltage during installation. That makes it useful for growing systems, since the same controller can move with you from a 12V or 24V bank to 48V, where it supports up to 3,200W of solar.

150V Solar Input

Maximum solar input voltage is 150V at 77°F and 145V at -13°F. Higher string voltage means more panels in series, fewer parallel connections and lighter cable for long runs from the array.

Lithium and Lead-Acid Support

Charging settings cover sealed, gel, flooded and lithium batteries, and the controller can charge lithium batteries that have been over-discharged.

LCD Display and Optional Bluetooth

The LCD with LED indicators shows charging status, battery information, operating parameters and fault codes. Add the BT-1 Bluetooth module through the RS232 port to monitor the system from your phone.

Low Losses and Built-In Protection

Charge circuit voltage drop is 0.26V or less, and discharge circuit voltage drop is 0.15V or less. Electronic protection guards against reverse polarity, overcharging, overload and short circuits, and the die-cast aluminum housing dissipates heat.


Real-World Applications

Off-grid homes and cabins. Charge a 48V battery bank from up to 3,200W of solar.

Large RVs and fifth wheels. Run up to 800W of roof solar on a 12V lithium bank, or more on 24V.

Boats. Rich Solar lists marine use, and the 12V to 48V range covers most house bank voltages.

Remote sites. Power communications, monitoring and pump systems with long array-to-battery runs.

Backup power. Recharge a home backup battery bank from solar during extended outages.


How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus the Rich Solar 40 Amp MPPT controller. The 40A model handles 12V and 24V systems with up to 1,100W of solar and 100V of input. The 60A model adds 36V and 48V support, 150V input and up to 3,200W of solar.

Versus multiple smaller controllers. One 60A controller can replace two or three smaller units, with fewer connections and one place to check system status.

Versus a PWM controller. PWM controllers cannot use high-voltage strings efficiently. With a 150V input and MPPT conversion, the RS-MPPT60 harvests more energy from series-wired arrays.


Is This Controller the Right Fit

  • Array size. Stay within 800W at 12V, 1,600W at 24V, 2,400W at 36V or 3,200W at 48V.
  • Input voltage. Keep open-circuit voltage under 150V at 77°F and under 145V at -13°F. Panel voltage climbs on cold mornings.
  • Wiring. The terminals accept conductors under 11 mm. Size cables for 60A on the battery side.
  • Environment. The operating range is -31°F to 113°F. The controller weighs 7.94 pounds and measures 11.2 x 8.1 x 3.7 inches.

This may be a good fit if

  • You run a 24V, 36V or 48V solar system, or plan to move to one
  • You have a large array with long cable runs
  • You need up to 60A of charging current
  • You want a load output and optional Bluetooth monitoring

Common Questions

Does It Work on a 48V System?

Yes. It detects 12V, 24V, 36V or 48V automatically and supports up to 3,200W of solar at 48V.

Does It Have Bluetooth Built In?

No. It works with the optional Rich Solar BT-1 Bluetooth module, which connects to the RS232 port.

Can It Charge Lithium Batteries?

Yes. It supports lithium batteries and can charge over-discharged lithium batteries.

What Is the Load Output Rating?

The load output is rated for 20A, which suits DC lighting, fans and small pumps.
