Prometheus Solar MPPT Charge Controller

12V 16V 24V Volt System Configuration
MPPT Solar Charge Controller with intelligence

The Prometheus series is a new generation of micro solar MPPT charge controllers. They bring a wealth of new versatility and features not yet seen in one product on the market today.

The Prometheus series is designed to be a scalable, efficient solution that allows you to expand your solar power system over time while minimizing initial costs.

The Prometheus series includes an MPPT, which is essential in any system where maximum energy collection is needed. A system without an MPPT will collect only a fraction of the power.

Below you will find a listing of many of the features that the Prometheus series brings to your power system at an affordable price.
