Solar Charge Controller with LED

Charge controllers are used in small solar home systems. Loads such as lights, radios or small TVs can be switched off manually on the controller without additional wall mounted switches. In professional applications such as telecommunication, the controllers can also be used in small photovoltaic power supply systems. Thanks to the universal series switching technology the controller can be used with amorphous, thin film and crystalline solar modules.

The Solarix PRS charge controllers are universal charge controllers, which means they can be used with lead-acid batteries or gel batteries without the need for complex configuration settings. They operate on the serial principle, and separate the solar module from the battery in order to protect it against overcharging. The Solarix PRS charge controllers are equipped with an electronic fuse, thus ensuring the optimal protection. For larger projects, the charge controllers can also be equipped with special functions including night light function, selectable charging plateau and deep discharge protection voltages. Several LED's give information on the charge status of the battery.
