Solar Charge Controllers. Why they are needed.
The amount of electricity produced by a Photovoltaic (electric) solar panel depends on the amount of sunlight falling on the panel. During low sunlight periods the panels will only produce small amounts of electricity, in high sunlight situations a great deal of electricity can be produced. A flat battery can absorb a high current from a solar panel but a charged battery will be damaged by too much current. A charge controller will gradually reduce the current from the solar panel as the battery charges up.
A SunWorks charge controller will control the electrical current from your solar panels to your batteries. Maximum current will be applied until the battery approaches full charge. The current is then reduced to safe levels. The battery charge is constantly monitored and the appropriate electrical current is applied to the battery. Battery life will be maximised and the performance of your solar panel system will be enhanced.
SunWorks charge controllers are simple to install, fully automatic and very robust.
