Hybrid Wind & Solar Controller HCM400-12-12
400W Wind / 200W Solar MPPT Power Management
The **HCM400-12-12** is a highly advanced hybrid charge controller designed to manage energy from both wind turbines and solar panels simultaneously. Engineered for 12V off-grid systems, it utilizes sophisticated MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology for the wind input to ensure maximum energy harvest even in low-wind conditions, combined with a reliable PWM solar charging circuit.
Key Features
- ✔ **Dual Input:** Supports 400W Wind + 200W Solar
- ✔ **MPPT Wind Boost:** Starts charging from 2V input
- ✔ **Digital LCD Display:** Real-time voltage & current tracking
- ✔ **Intelligent Protection:** Over-speed braking & overload protection
- ✔ **Programmable Loads:** 2 x 10A dedicated load terminals

Installation Notes
Always connect the battery bank to the controller FIRST before connecting wind turbines or solar panels to ensure correct voltage detection and circuit protection. Ensure all wiring uses appropriate gauge cables for the current loads (up to 34A for wind).
Questions & Answers
Is this a genuine original part?
This is a premium quality aftermarket hybrid controller, manufactured to meet or exceed the performance and safety standards of the leading UK renewable energy specialists.
How do I know if it is compatible with my turbine?
The HCM400-12-12 is compatible with most 12V wind turbines that produce 3-phase AC or DC output, provided the maximum power does not exceed 400W.
What does the "Boost" function actually do?
Standard controllers require the turbine to reach a voltage higher than the battery (approx. 13V) before charging. This MPPT boost model can take as little as 2V from the turbine and step it up to charge your battery, significantly increasing output in low wind conditions.
