ARI Charge Controller

Most of the charge controllers in the renewable energy industry are either for wind turbine or for solar panels. ARI has designed a hybrid solar-wind charge controller that allows both solar and wind power to charge battery bank simultaneously.

On the outside of ARI solar-wind charge controller is a digital monitor that visually displays the battery charging and discharging. A solar charging LED and a wind charging LED are separately displayed on the monitor. When solar power is charging, the solar LED lights up, and when the wind power is charging the battery banks, the wind charging LED lights up.

ARI charge controller also has a large LCD screen that displays the voltage of wind, solar and battery, as well as the charging amps:

ARI hybrid solar-wind charge controller is designed with over-speed protection to give the ARI wind turbine maximum safety and reliability. Moreover, ARI hybrid solar-wind charge controller has a circuit breaker installed to avoid an accidental short circuit of the battery bank. Furthermore, ARI hybrid solar-wind charge controller has a voltage regulator built in, that monitors and regulates the battery bank. When the battery voltage rises above the set point, the CPU automatically shuts off the wind turbine, and the rotor blades then stop rotating. As a result, the wind turbine stops generating power. When the CPU senses a voltage drop, the wind turbine will resume rotating and begin normal charging process.

In summary, the ARI charge controller has the following features:

1.    Composed of high quality and die cast oxidized-processed aluminum alloy plate.

2.    Bright LED lights and LCD visually display on/off and charging process of the solar and wind, as    well as the charging and discharging process of the battery.  

3.    Over-speed protection to give ARI wind turbine the maximum safety and reliability.

4.    Circuit breaker installed to avoid accidental short circuit of the battery.

5.    A voltage regulator that monitors and regulates the battery voltage.

6.   A large heat sink for efficient temperature dissipation.
