Eastman Auto and Power Limited launches state-of-the-art solar off-grid MPPT PCU

Eastman Auto and Power Limited (EAPL) has launched a state-of-the-art solar off-grid maximum power point tracking (MPPT) power conditioning unit (PCU), which is being claimed as one of the most advanced solar off-grid MPPT PCUs in the Indian market. The MPPT PCU consists of a solar charge controller, an inverter and a grid charger in an integrated form. The off-grid solar PCU is designed to enhance the use of solar power and uses main/ diesel genset power only when solar power is insufficient to meet the load requirements. The unique system offers three operating modes – smart mode (where the PCU gives first priority to solar, second to batteries and third to the grid in smart mode), PCU mode (where the PCU gives first priority to solar, second to the grid and third to the battery in PCU mode) and hybrid mode (where the PCU works well with solar as well as batteries, and grid charging takes place only when solar power is not available and the battery discharges to low-level trip).
