About This Product
The Grape Solar 60 Amp ZENITH MPPT Solar Charge Controller keeps batteries regulated and prevents them from overcharging. Maximum Power Point Tracking charge controllers utilize an advanced charging algorithm to maximize charging efficiency. Use of an MPPT charge controller can result in 15-20% higher efficiency than a PWM style controller.

Questions & Answers
If you input 36 volts from your array. Will this controller step it down to charge a 24 volt ballet bank?
With a 24V battery bank, can 12 100W 12V panels (theoretical 1200W) be wired as 3 48V strings paralleled and input to the controller? Also; need the panel and bank voltage be the same?
Hello Hugh - Yes, 100W panels can be configured in series to achieve various voltages, including 24V or 48V. Vmp for the GS-STAR-100W panel is 19.12V, so under full sun, the proposed 4S3P config would produce up to 76.48V @ 15.69A. These values are well within max ratings for the Zenith 60, so yes, this array would work well with this controller to charge 24V, 36V, or even 48V banks. No, the panel and bank voltages do not need to match, since the Zenith 60 controller employs MPPT technology, which allows it to modify input to match the voltage of whatever bank it is connected to. Matching voltages would only be necessary if using a PWM controller. Keep in mind that the max input for total wattage does depend on the battery bank voltage as follows: 12V bank = 900W max input; 24V = 1800W max input; 36V = 2600W max input; 48V = 3200W max input.
Can I add a40amp controller with this 60amp
Yes
is this for lithium battery charge controll?
Thanks for your interest. This charge controller works for all types of batteries. Excerpts from product manual: Charging modes available for most common deep-cycle battery types in the market, including AGM (sealed lead acid batteries), GEL, flooded, and Lithium. With the Grape Solar blue tooth controller mobile phone application, additional setting parameters may be adjusted to meet the needs of any other specialty batteries.
can this be stacked with another charge controller (same kind)?
Yes, Two Zenith 60A controllers can be used on a single battery bank with the use of the included communication cable.
How big of a system can this handle and what is the warranty
The total wattage depends on the battery bank voltage and chemistry. On a 12V battery, this charge controller can handle up to 900W. This controller has a one year warranty.
Just bought the 4 pack 300WATT 24V mono panels and this charge controller, i have 3 200ah 12v batteries.will this set up be ok?
The Zenith-60 can handle 900W of solar on a 12V system. To use 1200W, you will have to configure your battery bank for 24V or 36V. Please reach out to info@grapesolar.com for assistance in designing your system.
What is the maximum number of 200 W, 12 V Renogy solar panels that can be connected to this controller? Thanks.
On a 12V battery bank, the Zenith-60 charge controller can handle four 200W panels. I recommend placing these in two parallel strings of two.
