NDS SCE 360 Sun Control 2 12V-360W MPPT With N-BUS

The NDS SCE 360 Sun Control 2 MPPT Solar Regulator is an advanced solar charge controller designed for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, boats, and off-grid vehicles. It acts as the central controller between the solar panel and the leisure battery, ensuring that the energy produced by the solar panel is converted efficiently and safely into usable battery charging power.

This regulator supports solar panel systems up to 360W and uses MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology to maximise the amount of energy harvested from the solar panels. MPPT regulators can generate up to 25% more efficiency compared to standard PWM regulators, helping charge batteries faster and more effectively.

The device also includes two solar panel inputs, allowing you to connect two separate panels (up to 180W each) or a single panel up to 360W. It supports a wide range of battery types including AGM, gel, lead-acid, and LiFePO4 lithium batteries, making it suitable for modern caravan and campervan electrical systems.

With N-BUS communication technology, the regulator can connect with other NDS power management devices and monitoring systems, allowing users to monitor and control their onboard energy system from a single interface or via compatible displays or apps.

How This Device Is Used in Solar Panel Systems

In a caravan or campervan solar system, the solar regulator is the key component between the solar panel and the battery.

Basic Solar System Setup

Solar Panel → MPPT Charge Controller (Sun Control 2) → Leisure Battery → 12V Appliances

What the Regulator Does

• Controls voltage from the solar panel before it reaches the battery

• Optimises solar output using MPPT technology

• Prevents overcharging or battery damage

• Manages charging stages for longer battery life

• Can maintain both leisure and starter batteries

Solar panels often produce higher voltage than the battery can accept. The regulator converts this voltage into the correct charging current and voltage, ensuring safe and efficient battery charging.

Without a solar regulator, connecting a solar panel directly to a battery could damage the battery or reduce its lifespan.
