Solar charge controllers are rated according to the maximum input voltage (V) and maximum charge current (A). As explained below, these two ratings determine how many solar panels can be connected to the charge controller.Solar panels are generally connected in series, known as a string of panels—the more panels connected in series, the higher the string …
Think of a solar charge controller as a regulator. It delivers power from the PV array to system loads and the battery bank. When the battery bank is nearly full, the controller will taper off the charging current to maintain the required voltage to fully charge the battery and keep it topped off. By being able to regulate the voltage, the ...
