Control the power

Solar controllers are used to manage the voltage created by the Photovoltaic cells. The cells themselves can product between 0-22 volts so the controller is used to limit voltage above typical battery charging and turn off charging if the voltage isn't high enough to charge the batteries.

An MPPT featured controller can be used to optimise charging performance on low light days or during cold weather. These features are normally available on the higher spec units but you can purchase a module seperately to retro fit a system.

Solar controllers aren't required on Panels under 35w, typically used for charging small devices or trickle charging a reserve battery.
