Description
Many Dominican homes already have an inverter with batteries that charges whenever grid power is available. When outages are long, the batteries don't get a chance to recharge and the backup falls short. An MPPT solar charge controller lets you connect panels to that battery bank, so it also charges from the sun during the day.
The controller sits between the panels and the batteries and regulates charging so they aren't overcharged. MPPT technology continuously tracks the panels' point of maximum output, so it makes better use of their energy than a basic controller, especially in heat or cloudy weather. It's chosen based on the battery bank's voltage, the number of panels and the battery type, whether lead-acid or lithium.
Before recommending one, we check the condition of your inverter and batteries. If the batteries are badly worn, panels won't work miracles, and sometimes it makes more sense to replace them or move to a hybrid inverter. We lay out the options clearly.

Frequently asked questions
Can I add panels to the inverter I already have?
Almost always, with a charge controller connected to the batteries. We check your equipment to tell you whether it's worth it or whether a hybrid inverter is the better choice.
How many panels can I connect?
It depends on the controller and the battery bank's voltage. We size it so it stays within its capacity.
