Solar Charging Controllers

Harness Solar energy with solar charge controller

A solar charge controller is a piece of technology that controls the flow of power from the solar array into the battery bank. It prevents electricity from running back to the solar panels overnight and prevents the deep cycle batteries from being overloaded during the day. Although some charge controllers come with other features like illumination and load management, their main function is to manage electricity.

Types of solar charge controllers

PWM and MPPT are the two available methods for solar charge controllers. It is frequently advantageous to spend more money for an MPPT charge controller over a PWM charge controller since it is more costly and significantly more efficient.

• PWM Solar Charge Controller: PWM stands for "Pulse Width Modulation" and refers to a solar charge controller. These work by establishing a direct link between the solar panel array and the battery bank. A 12V battery may be charged using a 12V solar panel. For a 24V battery bank, a solar panel or solar array is required, and for a 48V battery bank, a 48V array is required
• MPPT Solar Charge Controller: MPPT stands for "Maximum Power Point Tracking" in reference to solar charge controllers.  The PV voltage is down-converted to the battery voltage after measuring the Vmp voltage of the panel. With a 20V solar panel, you can charge a 12V battery bank when the power is reduced to match the battery bank. 

Features of solar charge controllers

Over half of the power from a 24V solar panel will be wasted if you attempt to charge a 12V battery with it. You will be wasting 100% of the solar panel's potential and could even deplete the battery if you try to charge a 24V battery bank with a 12V solar panel. A solar charge controller's essential characteristics are:

• For healthier batteries, multistage battery charging modifies the amount of power sent to the batteries dependent on their charge state.
• When there is no power flowing from the solar panels at night, reverse current protection prevents the solar panels from emptying the batteries.
• When the battery is low, a low voltage disconnect switches off the associated load; when the battery is fully charged, it switches back on.
• Controls the lighting by turning on and off the linked light according to dawn and dark. Many controllers may be configured to operate for a few hours, all night, or any time in between.

The battery bank's voltage, charge level, and solar panel amps may be displayed on the display.
