MPPT DISABLE
The MPPT function may be disabled if desired. To use Solar Boost 2000 with wind power generators or power
sources other than a PV array, disable peak power tracking. With peak power tracking disabled, Solar Boost 2000 will
operate as a series pass PWM type controller. Even if peak power tracking is disabled, PV array current will be less
than output charge current when battery voltage is at the desired setpoint due to the nature of Solar Boost 2000’s
power conversion technology.
