More reliable than controllers mounted inside the junction box. Uses very low on-resistance power MOSFET\u2019s. No need to re-rate<\/li>\n<li>Outdoor Rated ETL approved for outdoor use without an additional enclosure. Rugged IP65, UV resistant case. Epoxy encapsulated printed circuit board and watertight connection to the module junction box<\/li>\n<li>Extensive Electronic Protections Fully protected against reverse polarity, short circuit, overcurrent, lightning and transient surges, high temperature and reverse current at night.<\/li>\n<li>Longer Battery Life Series PWM with 3 stage charging: bulk, PWM regulation and \u001eoat. Includes temperature compensation at the controller or alternatively at the battery when using optional remote temperature sensor. Able to charge a zero voltage battery.<\/li>\n<li>Rated for Hazardous Locations Speci\u001fcally designed for solar power systems in the oil\/gas industry. Approved for use in Class 1, Division 2, Groups A-D<\/li>\n<li>More Information Bi-color LED is easy to read from the ground when the solar module is pole-mounted. Indicates solar charging, regulation, normal nighttime operation and any controller or system faults<\/li>\n<li>Easy to Install Fits standard half inch conduit knockout (PG 13.5, M20) in module junction box. Quickly fastens with included locknut. Wires have fork connectors for easy connection to solar module terminals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Download product datasheet <a href=\"https:\/\/shimanosinergi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DS-Solar-Charger-en.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Compact \u201cpoint of use\u201d design that mounts directly to the solar module junction box or module frame, eliminating the need for an additional controller housing.<\/p>\n<p>SunKeeper is the ideal solution for economically providing regulated output directly from the solar module, to maximize battery life in small solar power applications. It\u2019s especially well-suited for oil &amp; gas applications, approved for use in hazardous locations: Class 1 Division 2, Groups A-D. SunKeeper is epoxy encapsulated and sealed in an IP65 rated UV-resistant case and approved for outdoor use with no additional enclosure required. By mounting directly to the module junction box and wiring through the junction box knockout, the connection remains weather-proof. To withstand the high temperatures at the solar module, the controller incorporates extremely efficient power electronics for thermal management and is rated to 70\u00b0C\/158\u00b0F ambient operating temperature<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Rugged design\u2014approved for outdoor use without an additional enclosure.
