MODEL: TP-SC24-20

Tycon Solar’s® TP-SC24-20 solar controllers deliver high-performance, 3-stage PWM temperature-compensated battery charging to maximize efficiency and extend battery life. Designed for precision and reliability, these controllers optimize charging cycles while protecting batteries from overcharging and damage. With multiple load operating modes, users can easily customize settings using the built-in “key” button, ensuring seamless integration into any solar power system.

Reliable Power with Smooth, Controlled Start

To prevent damaging power surges, the TP-SC24-20 features a soft start function, allowing it to gradually and reliably power high-capacitance loads up to 20A. This ensures sensitive electronic devices remain protected. Additionally, the built-in On/Off button provides users with instant control, allowing them to quickly disconnect load power when operating in default mode (15) for added safety and flexibility.

Comprehensive Protections for Maximum System Safety

Engineered for long-term reliability, the TP-SC24-20 is equipped with full electronic protections that actively safeguard your system against potential damage, including:

• Short circuit protection to prevent system failures
• Reverse current protection to block backflow that could drain batteries
• Overvoltage and overcharge protection to ensure stable power delivery
• Over-discharge and over-temperature protection to extend battery life

With auto-recovery functionality, the system automatically resets after a fault condition clears, allowing for uninterrupted operation without manual intervention.

Automatic Battery Equalization for Peak Performance

To keep batteries operating at maximum efficiency, the TP-SC24-20 includes an automatic battery equalization charge. Activating every 30 days, this function balances charge levels, reduces sulfation, and extends battery lifespan. To prevent overuse, the equalization charge is limited to one hour, ensuring batteries remain in top condition without unnecessary strain.

Built-In USB Charging for Added Convenience

For technicians working on-site, the integrated 5V 1A USB charging port offers a quick and easy way to power up phones or tablets, eliminating the hassle of carrying extra charging equipment. This practical feature makes the TP-SC24-20 an ideal choice for remote and off-grid installations.

Secure, Hassle-Free Installation

Installing the TP-SC24-20 is fast and straightforward, thanks to its six screw terminals, which support wire sizes up to 10AWG. For secure mounting, the controller includes four 3.5mm screw holes, ensuring a stable and durable installation. While the unit is internally fused for protection, we recommend adding an external 20A fuse between the controller and battery for extra safety and reliability.
