The Photon 3 MPPT is a boost mode Solar Array Maximum Point Power Tracker (MPPT) designed primarily for solar powered car racing, specifically for cars entering the World Solar Challenge and the American Solar Challenge. It has been optimized for the new generation of lower voltage, higher current silicon solar arrays and it has been specifically optimized to convert series strings of unmodified SunPower™ solar cells.
Array in four segments, each 64 cells in series, two units are required.
Battery is 30 cells in series lithium ion.
Note - do not connect array or battery return leads together. Photon 3 measures the array current on the low side returns, if they are connected together, the MPPT will not properly track the max power point.
