HRSi/12V Solar Panel Regulator


The HRSi Regulator is a micro controlled voltage regulator that provides multi-stage charging levels as well as over voltage protection.The bulk and float phase charging levels coupled with temperature compensation ensure that battery condition is more effectively maintained thus improving battery capacity and life. It conveniently accepts input from any one of the Rutland Windchargers plus Solar Panels rated up to 160Watts in parallel. This device automatically sets to 12V or 24V on correct installation sequence. LED's indicate charging status and approximate voltage levels. Suitable for indoor or in weather proof housing application. Solar panels must be fitted with blocking diodes appropriate to the rating of the solar panel.

Hybrid Windcharger / Solar Voltage Regulator



Wind Power


Rutland Windcharger System


Rutland Windchargers are micro wind turbines used for battery charging at both permanent and temporary sites. They are a convenient and cost effective alternative power supply particularly for isolated locations where the grid is unavailable or too expensive to install. Rutland Windchargers are a long established brand of reliable turbines and voltage controllers.
• Eliminate or reduce site visits for battery changeovers
• Maintain Continuity of power for essential datalogging or communications
• Replaces the need for grid connection, fuel or generators at remote sites
• Combine with solar panels for year round balance of energy generation
• Use the power generated at 12V for DC equipment or connect to an inverter for 230V low energy appliances, eg laptops.


Rutland Windchargers


Both Windcharger models are highly efficient at converting the power in the wind to electrical energy. They feature the Rutland low torque alternator and fine profile aerofoil blades delivering power from a very low wind speed whilst being
robustly constructed to give long service at unattended sites.


Rutland Windcharger Voltage Regulators


A voltage regulator is recommended with each windcharger. This electronic device provides an easy to connect interface between the windcharger, solar panels and battery whilst also providing protection from overcharging. Two models are available with individual design features but both are PWM, pulse width modulation, controlled which tapers the charge current until eventually slowing down the speed of the turbine to an idle. A shutdown switch allows the user to isolate charge current for maintenance or battery changeovers.
