MidNite Solar Hawke’s Bay 120A 600V MPPT Charge Controller for 48V Battery Systems – MNHAWKESBAY120

The MidNite Solar Hawke's Bay 120A 600V MPPT Charge Controller | MNHAWKESBAY120 is a high-capacity solar battery charge controller designed for demanding 48V DC battery-based photovoltaic installations. Combining advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology, a maximum battery charging current of 120A, and high-voltage solar array compatibility, the Hawke's Bay 120 delivers efficient solar energy conversion for larger off-grid, hybrid, and DC-coupled renewable energy systems.

Designed and manufactured in the USA, the Hawke's Bay 120 supports photovoltaic arrays with a 600V DC maximum open-circuit voltage and provides an MPPT operating window specified by the manufacturer for high-voltage solar charging applications. Its high-current output enables substantial charging capability for appropriately sized 48V battery banks.

The controller supports a wide range of battery technologies, including lithium, flooded lead-acid, AGM, gel, and nickel-iron batteries, with configurable charging parameters for compatible battery systems. An integrated graphical display with rotary control simplifies setup, programming, and monitoring.

Additional features include CAN bus communication, two auxiliary control circuits, Bluetooth connectivity for firmware updates, battery temperature sensing, and optional arc-fault, ground-fault, and rapid shutdown modules. The Hawke's Bay 120 can operate as a standalone charge controller or participate in compatible networked MidNite Solar energy systems.

Included with the controller: MidNite Solar Battery Temperature Sensor (MNBTS) and printed installation manual.

Accessory note: The Hawke's Bay Breaker Box (MNHAWKE'S BAY BB 125), mounting backplate, and optional protection modules are separate accessories and are not included with the standard MNHAWKESBAY120 controller.
