Tag: Stops Reverse Current

A solar charge controller can be defined as a charge regulator that keeps the batteries away from overcharging. It is responsible for monitoring the voltage and current coming from solar panels and going to the battery. The primary responsibility of a solar charge controller is to ensure that deep cycle batteries are not overcharged. It also checks that the power does not run back to the solar panels during the night and damage the solar panels. Storing electricity to do useful work later requires batteries to be connected to a solar PV system. After a battery is added, a charge controller becomes one of the essential solar system components. Some of the primary functions performed by a solar charge controller have been listed below: Stops Reverse Current at Night At night...
