Sunbeam MoonRay MPPT Regulator

Optimized for boats & RVs only.

Traditional solar systems are designed for stationary, shadow-free environments and often ignore the dynamic conditions that occur in real life. Especially for all of us who experience "weather" and thus do not live in a virtual desert climate. Specifically designed for boats and RVs, the MoonRay charge controller is built to perform in the varying weather and partial shadows these mobile environments often encounter. We have worked on these three focus areas, each improving specific performance metrics while working together, where they also increase overall efficiency and reliability.

1. Start despite low solar panel voltage

○ Early charging start: Maximizes usable daylight hours, ensuring charging starts earlier, even in less than ideal conditions.

○ Improved performance in cloudy weather: Efficiently converts available light into energy, even on cloudy days.

○ Better at low sun angles: Maintains efficient charging during early morning and late afternoon, when the sun is not so high in the sky.

○ Eliminates the need for series connections: Simplifies installation by enabling efficient charging with parallel panel configurations, reducing complexity and improving flexibility.

2. Uniform power curve

○ Stable efficiency: Delivers uniform high performance regardless of low or high output from the solar panel.

○ Flexibility of panel size and angle: High output without adaptation of solar panel size or precise angle to the sun, providing greater versatility.

○ Intensity independent: Achieves consistent charging efficiency without being affected by fluctuating sunlight intensity.

3. Versatile MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking)

○ Versatile panel compatibility: Optimally supports all solar panels from 20W to 320W/160W, enabling a wide variety of power needs and system sizes.

○ Enhanced for parallel or single panel installations: Adapted to improve efficiency in typical small installations, with a single solar panel up to multiple panels connected in parallel.

○ Shade-optimized panel production: Increases energy production even when the panels are partially shaded, reducing one of the common disadvantages of solar power in mobile environments.

As can be seen, the advantages interact and provide a multitude of advantages that make both the choice of hardware and installation easier and provide a more versatile and thus higher production. Overall, on all levels more carefree with a reliable in all situations high power.

MoonRay also has the following unique advantages:

● Multi Connect (Free) App: Seamlessly control multiple MoonRay controllers and configure solar panel groups for dynamic conditions on boats and RVs.

● Keep track locally and via the Internet: Comprehensive monitoring and control functions, compatible with Mobile Smart Home.

● Low self-consumption: With ≤13mA (14mA for 320W models), MoonRay minimizes energy waste and leads its class in efficiency.

● Versatility: Adapts to different installations and supports single or parallel solar panels to charge multiple 12V batteries, ideal for typical boat or RV installations.

● Comprehensive electronic protections: Has ten standard protections, complies with EN/IEC62109 and EN61000-6-1/3, which guarantees the highest safety and reliability.

● Temperature protection and cooling: Features automatic power adjustment and natural convection cooling to maintain optimal performance and durability.
