Some Features of Solar Charge Controller

So many people will meet the question when they want to choose solar charge controller , usually they don’t know which one will be suitable for them. In fact, the reason is that they don’t know the features and types of charge controller.



Firstly, we should know the charge controller may refer to either a stand-alone device, or to control circuitry integrated within a battery pack, battery-powered device, or battery recharger. And the solar charge controller is specially produced to make improve the conversion rate of solar.

When you see the types of solar charge controller you need to get, and you should know some key features of it, and you can make full use of it, such as some solar controllers offer adjustable control voltage set points, low voltage disconnect, overload protection and displays and metering.

Besides, if the solar controller is equipped with a low voltage disconnect (LVD), then the solar charge controller can detect when the battery is low and shut off the DC load until the battery is charged. And as some parameters can satisfy your demamds, the charge controller will be used. In fact, the voltage output of a solar panel is affected by how much sunlight is striking it and at what intensity. In the simplest case of a 12 volt nominal panel this can vary from slightly below 12 V at the crack of dawn to above 17 V in broad daylight, especially if it’s cold outside. If your battery is moderately charged hovering around 12.5 V, it’s going to not get charged at all in the morning, then by midday it will be boiling and destroy itself. The primary function of even the simplest charge controller is to prevent this from happening.

I think these suggestions can give you some help, and following the development of science technology, the solar charge controller will become more wonderful.
