Steca Solarix
Alpha, Gamma, Sigma, Omega
Description
The Steca Solarix is the world's most widely used charge controller in systems between 8 and 30 A (up to 900 Wp).
With the well-known Steca-AtonIC state of charge determination, the controller enables ideal battery protection via programmed software. The software includes a self-learning algorithm that displays the battery's state of charge and adapts to the capacity and age of the battery. The charge controller combines the advantages of a shunt and series controller through Steca's own switching concept: the hybrid actuator. The unit safety was increased by a combination of electronic and electromechanical protective devices.
