Charge Controllers A charge controller, or charge regulator is similar to the voltage regulator in your car. It regulates the voltage and current coming from the solar panels going to the battery. Most panels put out 15.5 to 20 volts, so if there is no regulation the batteries will be damaged from overcharging
The above unit is a Cx series Charge Controller from Phocos AG in Germany. The CML series is a sophisticated solar charge regulator family with exceptional features in this price range. Beside a perfect PWM regulation with integrated temperature compensation the controllers provide extraordinary display, programming, and safety functions. The battery state of charge is clearly displayed with a bar chart, as well as energy flows from and to the battery and the load status (e.g. overload, load short circuit). The deep discharge protection function can be set up to three different modes: voltage controlled, SOC controlled or adaptive (fuzzy logic).
Acoustic warnings are built in, A programmable nightlight function.
As an accessory we can provide an Excess Energy Management output to control special Phocos appliances like the SF solar refrigerators/coolers.(For refrigerators and coolers click here)
