Size your system, then pick the controller
Every installation is different. Tell us your battery bank, your panels and your battery type — this tool works out the charging current you will actually get, how long a charge will take, and which Systellar controller fits. It checks every MPPT controller in our online range.

These figures are a sizing estimate from the numbers you entered. Send them to us and we will confirm the exact model, the wiring layout and any accessories you need — free of charge, before you buy. We design and manufacture every controller here in India, so we can also build to a specification you cannot find off the shelf.
How these numbers are worked out
- Charging current = array watts × MPPT conversion efficiency ÷ battery charging voltage, then capped at the controller's rated current.
- Charging voltage per 12 V block: LiFePO4 14.6 V · Li-ion/NMC 12.6 V · lead-acid 14.4 V.
- Usable capacity: 80% of rated Ah for lithium, 50% for lead-acid — the depth of discharge each chemistry tolerates without shortening its life.
- Charging efficiency: 97% lithium, 85% lead-acid (lead-acid loses more to heat and gassing near the top of the charge).
- Real-world derate: 80% of nameplate array output for irradiance, panel temperature, dust and cable loss. "Good sun" means roughly 4.5 peak-sun-hours a day, a fair all-India annual average.
- The string has to clear a floor as well as a ceiling. Ceiling: panel Voc is highest on a cold, clear morning, so we multiply string Voc by 1.10 and require it to stay under the controller's input limit — that is the moment a controller gets damaged, not midday. Floor: Vmp falls about 16% as a panel heats to rooftop temperature, and an MPPT is a step-down converter, so if hot Vmp drops below the battery's charging voltage it simply stops charging on the hottest afternoons. We therefore require string Voc at rating to be at least 1.45 × the charging voltage.
- Wiring is chosen as the longest series string that fits that window and divides your panel count evenly — fewer parallel strings means less current, thinner cable and lower losses. If no even split fits, we say so rather than quietly recommending unequal strings.
- Figures are indicative. Site shading, panel orientation, cable runs and battery age all move the result.
MPPT solar charge controller comparison
Four MPPT models cover every off-grid system we serve, from a single 12V battery to a 120V industrial bank. Work down from your battery bank voltage and array size — those two figures decide the controller, and everything else follows.
