DESCRIPTION

Genasun GV-5 Lead-Acid: Advanced MPPT Solar Charge Controller with Load Output

Engineered for mission-critical reliability in extreme conditions, the Genasun GV-5 Solar Charge Controller is purpose-built for 12V lead-acid battery systems. Deployed in the most remote and challenging locations on Earth, this USA-made controller endures severe environments, from harsh Antarctic winters to the upper atmosphere. Each unit undergoes rigorous electrical testing, ensuring it is ready for your off-grid power needs.

Innovative Ceramic Technology for Longevity

Genasun sets a high standard in controller reliability with its ceramic, electrolytic-free design. Traditional controllers degrade over time due to fluid electrolytes that evaporate in heat. Free from these vulnerabilities, the Genasun GV-5 is backed by an industry-leading 10-year warranty, ensuring enduring performance without heat wear-out.

High-Speed MPPT for Optimal Energy Harvest

Experience efficient power point tracking with Genasun's advanced MPPT technology. Unlike typical controllers that perform voltage range sweeps every 30 to 60 seconds, the GV-5 adapts to changing light conditions 15 times per second. This high-speed tracking ensures maximum energy harvest even during cloud cover, partial shade, or in-city applications where obstructions are common.

Complete Power Management with Load Output and LVD

The GV-5 is not just a charge controller; it is a complete power management solution. Featuring a dedicated load output with Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD), it protects your lead-acid battery from damaging deep discharges. The controller maximises solar power collection, extends battery life, and provides smooth, filtered power for your load, ensuring reliability in unpredictable conditions.

Advanced Multi-Stage Charging Profile

Benefit from a tailored multi-stage charge profile specifically engineered for 12V lead-acid batteries. With integrated temperature compensation, the GV-5 adjusts bulk, absorption, and float voltages to match battery requirements. This precise regulation significantly extends battery service life and capacity compared to basic on/off controllers.

Key Features

  • 99.85% peak electrical efficiency
  • Electrolytic-free, ceramic capacitors for extended lifespan
  • High-speed 15Hz MPPT with advanced electronic protections
  • 10-year manufacturer warranty
  • Ultra-low power consumption (0.15mA operating)
  • Integrated load output with Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD)
  • Radio frequency noise elimination for sensitive electronics
  • Fanless and relay-free design for enhanced durability

Exceptionally Low Power Consumption for Storm Survival

The Genasun GV-5 stands out with its extraordinarily low power draw. In standby mode, it consumes just 0.125mA, and under low light conditions while charging, less than 0.2mA. This efficiency is crucial for enduring periods of minimal sunlight, such as during snow-covered panels or extended cloudy weather, keeping your system functional when it matters most.

Durable Design with No Fans or Relays

Designed for longevity, the Genasun GV-5 eliminates the need for fans and relays, which are components prone to wear and failure. This advanced electrical design enhances durability, ensuring the controller outlasts conventional models. Operating flawlessly across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C, the conformal-coated circuitry resists moisture and dust. Furthermore, the GV-5 is meticulously engineered to eliminate radio frequency noise, preventing interference with nearby electronics and achieving exceptional FCC compliance.

Equip your off-grid or urban setup with a solar charge controller that epitomises efficiency, reliability, and adaptability. Order the Genasun GV-5 Lead-Acid controller today to maintain consistent power in any condition.

1. Panel Isc. Maximum input power and maximum input voltage requirements must also be respected.  2. Maximum current that the controller could draw from an unlimited source. This specification is not intended for determining PV input. 3: If the battery voltage drops below this point, the controller will attempt to run an absorption cycle. Otherwise, it will charge to the float voltage. 4. 16V input, 13V output, GV-5 vertically (wall) mounted 5. At high ambient temperatures and input voltages, the GV-5 will automatically limit charging power to keep its internal temperature to a level safe for long-term operation. When limiting in this manner, the LED will display the "Current Limit" blinks. Moving the GV-5 to a cooler location or providing increased airflow may increase charging power.
