Description

This is the popular Outback FLEXmax 100. A state-of-the-art MPPT Solar Charge Controller with integrated arc fault (AFCI) protection. With 300V input capacity, you have the ability to design your system with longer strings of solar modules, and accommodate cold-weather voltage rise – an important design issue for us Canadians!

Designed with 15 years of experience manufacturing products for fault intolerant, mission-critical applications, OutBack’s FLEXmax 100 delivers a high quality and reliable MPPT charge controller. The FLEXmax 100 has passed extensive quality and reliability testing, including Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT).

The compact, outdoor-rated enclosure keeps dust and moisture from damaging internal components. With the addition of arc and ground fault protection, and rapid shutdown capacitor discharge, the FLEXmax 100 is the most versatile high power MPPT controller on the market. Configuring the FLEXmax 100 in your system is easy with 128 days of built-in data storage, smart programming wizards (MATE3s required), and connectivity with OPTICS RE, so you can monitor, command, and control from one location.

The FLEXmax 100 charges your batteries faster. This allows you to sell energy to the grid faster, and maximize your return on investment. The FLEXmax 100 has the best price to power ratio on the market.
