The MidNite Solar Classic MPPT controller is destined to be the type of product that will truly change our industry. With a very aggressive list of features, the Classic from MidNite Solar is once again raising the bar in performance. The Classic has three separate modes (recipes) to choose from: Solar, Wind & Hydro and a Learning Mode for self optimization. Each mode has key parameters already set making startup a snap.

Description:
The Classic MPPT Charge Controller will soon stand the renewable energy industry on it's ear. The Classic will substantially increase the flexibility, features and range currently found on MPPT controllers. The Classic is the only MPPT controller that has Arc Fault Detection, making this controller the safest controller available. With the Classic 150 ranging up to 96 amps, the Classic 200, 79 amps and the Classic 250, 63 amps, why would you need any other controller. MidNite has doubled its factory floor space for production of the Classic, which means the Classic will be the only real "Made in America" charge controller.
Wizard walks you through:
· Battery hook up
· PV array sizing and hook up
· Wind turbine program selection
· Wire sizing Breaker selection
· PV combiner selection
· Sunrise and sunset program set up
· Voltage drop calculations
Three Classic models accommodate solar arrays with up to 200, 250 or 300 Voc of operating voltage. Open circuit voltage (Voc) is based on operating voltage (Vmp) plus the battery voltage.
The Classic 150 model is good for 200 Voc on a 48V battery, 175 at 24V & 162 at 12V. See the table below for other models.

Plus, No HUB is required for stacking Classics to act as one large controller. They have two auxiliary outputs: one is a dry contact relay and the other is a 12V output. Each unit includes snap-on covers and hole plugs for sealing openings in dusty or salt-air environments, but about 20% reduction in output will result when used in sealed mode.
The Classic has built-in Ethernet, USB and RS-232 ports for two-way communications. An internal IP address allows the Classic to be a mini web server when hooked up to broadband. It has 32 MB of memory for data storage. A wizard-driven setup covers battery bank size, string voltage, wind turbine selection, power and wire loss chart, PV breaker sizing and more.
