STIHL MPPT Solar Charge Controller for PS 2000 - Solar and Vehicle Charging Accessory
The STIHL MPPT Solar Charge Controller is a dedicated accessory for the STIHL PS 2000 Portable Power Supply, enabling the PS 2000 to be recharged via solar panels or a vehicle's on-board electrical system when mains power is unavailable. Supporting input voltages from 12V to 60V and a maximum charging power of 500W, it connects to standard solar panels via a MC4 input connector — the industry-standard photovoltaic connection used on virtually all solar panels, requiring no adapters. Certified to IP65 — fully dustproof and protected against water jets — and rated for operation from -10°C to +45°C, the controller is built for demanding outdoor environments. A practical solution for professionals in remote forestry, off-grid landscaping and extended field operations where the PS 2000 needs to be recharged without access to mains electricity. Available from Gustharts, an authorised STIHL dealer with UK stock.
This controller is designed exclusively for the STIHL PS 2000. It is not compatible with the STIHL PS 3000 or other STIHL power units.
Key Features
- MPPT charge controller — Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithm continuously optimises power extraction from solar panels across varying light levels; significantly more efficient than PWM controllers in changing outdoor conditions
- 500W maximum charging power — at full solar input, charges the PS 2000's 2,000 Wh battery in approximately 4 hours under optimal conditions
- 12V to 60V input range — compatible with 1 to 4 standard solar panels in series; also accepts vehicle 12V/24V electrical systems for charging on the move
- MC4 input connection — the industry-standard photovoltaic solar panel connector; connects directly to compatible panels without adapter cables
- IP65 certified — fully dustproof and protected against water jets from any direction; a higher level of weather protection than the PS 2000's own IPX4 rating
- -10°C to +45°C operating range — reliable performance across a full range of UK and European outdoor working temperatures
- Designed for PS 2000 exclusively — engineered to the PS 2000's charging input specification

Also Known As
The STIHL MPPT Solar Charge Controller is also referred to as a solar charge controller, MPPT controller, solar charger for PS 2000, photovoltaic charge controller and PS 2000 solar accessory. In off-grid and mobile power contexts it may be called a solar charging module or PV charge controller. For ordering, reference the STIHL MPPT Solar Charge Controller and confirm the correct part number with Gustharts before purchasing.
Pairs Well With
- STIHL PS 2000 Portable Power Supply — the MPPT controller is exclusively designed for the PS 2000; required to enable solar and vehicle charging
- Compatible solar panels (12V–60V, up to 500W) — any standard MC4-terminated solar panel within the input voltage range; the controller connects without adapters
FAQs
What does MPPT mean and why does it matter?
MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) is an algorithm that continuously adjusts the electrical load on a solar panel to extract maximum available power at any light level. It is typically 10–30% more efficient than simpler PWM charge controllers, making it especially useful in variable UK outdoor light conditions.
Is this controller compatible with the STIHL PS 3000?
No. This controller is designed exclusively for the STIHL PS 2000. It is not compatible with the PS 3000 or other STIHL power units.
What solar panels are compatible?
Any standard solar panel or array with MC4 connectors and an output voltage between 12V and 60V DC, up to 500W total. A single standard 400W panel or two panels in series within the voltage limit are both compatible.
Can I charge the PS 2000 from a vehicle using this controller?
Yes. The 12V–60V input range covers 12V and 24V vehicle on-board electrical systems. Connect the controller to the vehicle's electrical system to charge the PS 2000 during transit between sites.
How long does it take to charge the PS 2000 from solar?
At the maximum 500W input in ideal conditions, the PS 2000's 2,000 Wh battery would take approximately 4 hours to charge from empty. Real-world charging time will vary with available sunlight, panel orientation and ambient temperature.
