Schneider Electric > Conext XW 100 Amp 24/48 Volt MPPT Charge Controller
Manufacturer Part Number: RNW8651034
The Schneider Electric Conext XW Solar Charge Controller is a photovoltaic (PV) charge controller that tracks the electrical maximum power point of a PV array to deliver the maximum available current for charging batteries. When charging, the XW MPPT regulates battery voltage and output current based on the amount of energy available from the PV array and state-of-charge of the battery.
The XW-MPPT100-600 can be used with the XW power distribution panel, or stand-alone in other PV systems. Either a Square-D HU361RB 600 VDC disconnect, or the XW-Disco-RS, can be used as an array disconnect. Use a 100 A breaker for the XW-MPPT80-600 and 125 A breaker for the XW-MPPT100-600 on the battery side of the controller.
Features
- 100 A for 12, 24, 36, 48 V batteries
- MPPT delivers maximum available power from PV array to battery bank, producing up to 30% more power than PWM charge controllers
- Integrated PV ground-faulted protection
- Convection-cooled design - does not require a cooling fan
- Selectable two or three-stage charging algorithms, with manual equalization to maximize system performance
- Two-line, 26-character liquid digital display (LCD) and four buttons for configuration and system monitoring in stand-alone applications
Essential for prolonging battery life by providing a controlled charge to the battery bank without overcharging
- Easy-to-install
- Improve battery life with selectable multi-stage temperature compensated charging
- Improve battery life with selectable multi-stage temperature compensated charging
Applications
- Backup power
- Residential grid-tie solar with backup power
- Off-grid solar
- Community electrification
- Self-consumption

Detailed Description
General
The Conext MPPT 100 A 600 Vdc solar charge controller offers optimum system performance for DC coupled solar and storage installations, with easy, flexible installation of large PV arrays. With up to 6 kW of charging power, and allowance for over-sized arrays, the MPPT 100 is ideal for residential grid tied self-supply and off-grid systems and is scalable for larger installations. The MPPT 100 600 offers faster installations and lower balance of system costs with 2 string installations and is compatible with Conext XW and SW storage inverter solutions. The MPPT Disconnect RS accessory can be added for NEC 2017 compliance with module level rapid shutdown, as well as equipment disconnect functionality.
