Collection: Xtra-N Marine Series Controllers

The Xtra-N series from Custom Marine Products offers advanced MPPT solar charge controllers designed for marine use. These controllers maximize solar array output with 99.5% efficiency and support multiple battery types, including lithium and lead-acid. Features include adaptive three-stage charging, extensive electronic protections, and compatibility with remote displays and apps for monitoring and programming. Available models range from 10A to 40A, accommodating various solar array sizes. The controllers are dustproof, water-resistant, and have a wide operating temperature range, ensuring reliable performance in marine environments.

Technical Specifications

Specifications for MPPT Xtra-N Marine Series Controllers

The Xtra-N marine series controllers are EP Solar’s second generation of MPPT controllers. They have rapid MPP (Maximum Power Point) calculation capability to achieve the maximum output of a solar array.  At 99.5% efficiency they are one of the most energy efficient controllers available which means they will convert the maximum amount of solar energy to battery charging power.

With the adaptive three-stage charging mode based on a digital control circuit, XTRA-N series controllers can effectively prolong the life-cycle of batteries, significantly improve the system performance and support all-around electronic protection functions, including overcharging and over discharging protection to minimize damage to components of the system caused by incorrect installation or system failure at the utmost, and effectively ensure safer and more reliable operation of the solar power supply system for a longer service time.

The Xtra-N series controllers include a built in display providing the same information as the MT50 remote display although the MT50 is an optional accessory.  The Xtra-N is designed to manageLithium ion and LiFePo4batteries as well as the standard flooded, AGM and sealed batteries.  The Xtra-N can be programmed from the built in display, the MT50 remote meter, a Bluetooth smart phone app or a computer connected via special cable.

    Customer Service and Product

    Very pleased with the performance of the rigid solar panels purchased in 2022. Customer service also has been consistently excellent both before the sale regarding product selection and after the sale regarding installation and maintenance concerns.

    Heavy Duty Panels For The Win

    Installed 1200watts of panels on my 56' commercial fishing boat in Kodiak Alaska, with salt spray and harsh winters I hardly run my genset. Installation was a breeze with using silicone to mount them. Most the boats in my family fleet have them now and we are all saving big on the fuel bill! Couldn't be happier with the purchace.

    Easy Install - Great Performance

    I worked with Tom last year to design a system for my sailboat; the dialog and information was very detailed and helpful in helping determine my system needs and completing the installation. Once ordering, the kit arrived in a timely manner and very complete. The install was very straightforward and Tom provided additional information as needed. After the install I took off on a 7 month cruise of British Columbia. The system worked perfectly during my trip. I’m very happy with the equipment and support from CMP and Tom. I highly recommend !
