Solar O�-grid Control Unit (OCU) Gen 3.0 Charge Controller with Maximum Power Point Tracking

--OCU Gen 3.0

MPPT CC Eco

1

Philips Solar O�-grid Control Unit (OCU) Gen 3.0 Charge Controller with Maximum Power

Point Tracking (OCU Gen 3.0 MPPT CC) is an advanced battery charger for o�-grid photo-

voltaic lighting system. The controller features a leading and smart tracking algorithm that

maximizes the energy harvest from the PV and provides load control to prevent over

discharge of the battery.

The OCU Gen 3.0 MPPT CC is dedicated designed for professional PV applications in

standalone solar lighting system. The battery temperature sensor adhered to it and its

charging process has been optimized for long battery life and improved system perfor-

mance. The product is polyurethane encapsulated for environment protection and

preventing against invasion (IP67), could be commissionable and accessible by users via

a personal computer.

Typical application

Standalone o�-grid solar lighting system

Features and advantages

Maximizes energy harvest

• Peak efficiency of over 97% (+20% efficiency higher than

PWM charge controller), MPPT efficiency certified by DEKRA

• Almost no power losses to support system withstanding long

period of no-day-light time and decrease maintenance cost

• Recognition of multiple power peaks during shading

• Good performance at low sun irradiation levels

Dedicated design for solar lighting system

• Enables output of standard voltage (17.5V and 35V) for

off-grid battery charging.

Lower system initial cost

• Less expensive than other controllers and is affordable in

smaller PV systems up to 380Wp. Enables system costs to

be reduced by down-sizing the PV panel configuration.

Multiple working modes to applications

• General purpose (all-time on)

• Dusk to dawn (default)

• Pre-set timing (enables users to pre-set working hours after

dusk)

• Evening-morning working mode (lighting system operation

triggered once dusk and working hours last before dawn)

(enables users to pre-set working hours after dusk and

before dawn*)

*intelligent self-learning mode

Slim size and fool-proof connectors

• Compact dimension makes it easier to install in equipment

enclosures.

• Certified IP67 connectors

Highly reliable

• Efficient electronics, a conservative thermal design and

tropicalization result in high reliability and long life.

Self-recovery ability

• It enables system waken up from hibernate mode without

manual interference due to long black-out days

Automatic lighting control

• Enables lighting systems work automatically according to

pre-setting and sun irradiation intensity.

Fully commissionable and accessible

• Enables user to commissioning and access charge controller

and system via RS485 port to PC, make configuration

upgradable after installation

Extensive electronic protections

• Fully protected against most system errors and faults

• Enhanced Surge protection to grow reliability, It is specially

designed to withstand 2KV/4KV surge voltage, which is far

beyond normal MPPT charge controller [typ. 500/1KV].

Longer battery life and compatible with both lead acid and

Li-ion battery

• Efficient temperature compensation and 4-stage charging

prolong battery life

Easy visibility

• LED indicators make it visible to users with system operation

status.

Data* logging

• Records of key operating parameters of the solar lighting

system and max 8 weeks of data logging

*(panel VI, battery VIT, loads VI and daily harvest energy and

power consumption)
