Amp Solar Charge Controllers
Browse the 60 amp solar charge controllers below to find the one that best meets your needs for your application. They have programmable charge settings, and all come in metered and non-metered versions. Unlike competitors, these controllers, and all Morningstar controllers for that matter, use a passive heat sink design rather than fans, which are parasitic loads that suck in dust and debris across circuit boards. The MPPT controllers below use maximum powerpoint tracking charging technology, so they can be installed with oversized solar arrays that exceed their charge ratings, but their Voc ratings must not be exceeded.

Reviews For Nova Series 60 Amp 12/24/48 Volt Solar Charger
Was really apprehensive about spending this much money on a solar charger. But the consistency, ease of setup, and reliability have justified the purchase. We’re happy to recommend this to anyone looking for a solar system.
This system is such a crusher. Effortlessly manages 700 watts of solar on my camper. I had bought this to replace the previous solar charger that had literally MELTED due to the wattage / voltage. Nice to know my money was well spent.

The Solar Tax Credit Explained ×
The following is an explanation of the solar tax credit, which we hope will be a helpful resource for you as you consider transitioning to solar power and saving money. It is important to note that we are not tax professionals, and we recommend consulting with a certified public accountant (CPA) regarding Tax Form 5695 and the 26% solar tax credit.
The solar tax credit is a deduction that applies to the entire cost of your solar system. However, it is important to note that in order to claim the credit, you must owe federal income tax in the United States. The 26% tax credit can result in significant savings, as illustrated in the following example:
If the total cost of your solar system is 10,000 the 26% solar tax credit would amount to 2,600. This means that your net investment after the credit would be 7,400 (10,000. 2,600). When it comes time to file your taxes, this 2,600 credit would be deducted from the amount you owe, which would effectively reduce your tax liability. For instance, if you owed 20,000 in federal income tax, the 2,600 credit would reduce your liability to 17,400.
It is worth noting that you will need to keep track of your solar system expenses in order to claim the credit. If you purchase your system from Teragy Solar, you will receive an itemized sales receipt that can be used for tax purposes. It is also important to keep in mind that tax laws and regulations are subject to change, and you should consult with a tax professional to ensure that you are taking advantage of all available credits and deductions.
Finally, please note that this information is provided for general informational purposes only, and we cannot guarantee its accuracy or applicability to your specific tax situation. We encourage you to consult with a CPA or other qualified tax professional for personalized advice regarding your tax situation. If you have further questions about the solar tax credit, we recommend reaching out to a tax professional who specializes in this area.

What Is the 120 Percent Rule and Will It Affect My Solar Panel Installation?
‘What is the 120 percent rule?’ is a common question faced by homeowners looking to install solar PV systems. NEC (National Electrical Code) has laid down several chapters, including the 120% rule, to fulfill its mandate of protecting life and property from electric hazards.
A solar power system delivers an electric current to the Main Service Panel (MSP). Any MSP has a prescribed capacity, rated in amperes (amps). As a safety measure, it’s essential to make sure the additional current doesn’t overload MSP’s capacity.
The 120% rule is a vital regulatory guideline that ensures additional solar power doesn’t create risks.
How To Compute the 120% Rule
At the center of the MSP is a busbar made of metal components that can melt on overloading, a potential fire hazard. In addition, a circuit breaker trips when power exceeds the rated capacity.
However, the MSP capacity becomes overstretched when a solar system injects additional current. Therefore, the 120% rule is a welcome code covering the additional risk.
Here’s how the 120% rule comes into play.
The NEC, 120% rule states that solar PV systems should be installed in electrical boxes up to 120% of the busbar’s label rating. For example, if the home’s electrical meter rating is 175 amps, the rule allows an additional 20%, an equivalent of 35 amps from the solar system.
At 210 amps, the system is within the acceptable limit. However, is 35 amps sufficient for the typical solar PV installations and battery storage? Keep in mind that a standard PV installation and battery require an average of 60-80 amps.
So, will it limit the solar PV capacity to 35 amps to remain compliant with the 120% rule?
Let’s explore how to expand the s ystem’s capacity to absorb the additional solar current safely.
How To Navigate the 120% Rule
If you exceed the 120% rule, the electric panel receives more energy beyond its capacity, exposing life and property to fire risks. Remember, you need to observe the system capacity and conform to the NEC code.
Some of the viable alternatives include:
Downsizing the Main Service Panel For Solar
If the expected solar power is 60 amps, vis-a-vis an allowable limit of 35 amps, the main breaker needs an additional capacity of 25 amps.
In such a scenario, your service provider can remove the 175 amp main breaker and replace it with a 150 amp unit. The new main breaker will seamlessly integrate the extra 60 amp without compromising the existing power load.
Alternatives of Derating Main Breaker
In some cases, it’s not practical to downsize the breaker. For instance, when the electric system capacity is too large.
- Upgrade the capacity of the current MSP
- Create a line-side connection, which is a link between the meter and service panel
- Introduce a solar-ready service panel
- Feed the existing main breaker into a sub-panel with a higher busbar ampere rating
