The 8 Amp Solsum is one of the most popular Charge Controllers available for small solar systems. It will prevent your solar panels of 50-100 watts (Dependant on battery voltage - see below) or less, from overcharging your battery.
The Solsum 8.8F charge controller is highly featured with automatic voltage regulation and battery gassing functions, temperature compensation, reverse polarity protection and a multi-color LED that indicates the battery voltage. The controller uses Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for optimum battery charging and in short... provides reliable protection for both 12v and 24v systems.
Features
- Suitable for solar panels up to 100 Watts at 12 Volts, or 50 Watts at 24 Volts.
- Automatic selection of voltage (12 V / 24 V).
- Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) series battery charging.
- Temperature compensation and Gassing regulation. (Means more effective use made of the battery capacity).
- Fused Fault Protection.
- Automatic load reconnection.
- Built-in status LED indicates battery voltage.
- Positive grounding, or negative grounding on one terminal.
- Reduces system maintenance.
- Installs in minutes.
