Key Component of a Solar System Over 15 Watts
A charge controller is a very important feature of a solar system and must be used on all systems over 15 Watts. A charge controller protects your batteries from overcharge and discharge. Charge controllers are the maintenance free protection of your solar panel and batteries.
A charge controller monitors the battery’s state-of-charge to insure that when the battery needs change-current, it gets it, and also insures the battery isn’t overcharged. Connecting a solar panel to a battery without a regulator seriously risks damaging the battery and potentially causing a safety concern.
Charge controllers are rated based on the amount of amperage they can process from a solar array.

24V Battery Charger : Sunforce 60032 30 Amp Digital Charge Controller Reviews
| 160 of 165 people found the following review helpful  The two types of charge controllers / what is MPPT?, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Sunforce 60032 30 Amp Digital Charge Controller (Misc.) If you've read the reviews, by now the acronym MPPT has shown up more than once. If you know what that means, read no further as this is not too entertaining. If you would like to know the difference in MPPT and non-MPPT solar regulators, and can tolerate some basic math or skim through it, read on and I can explain why this non-MPPT regulator will do the job, just not the BEST job possible.MPPT stands for Maximum Power Point Tracking, which sounds like a good thing, and it definitly is a must for large house size systems, but what exactly is it? Simply put MPPT finds YOUR solar array's Maximum amount of power for a given condition (full sun/overcast/panel tilt). It is always searching for the best voltage and current conditions to maximize power from the panels, which after all is what you paid big bucks for, right? Let's explore how MPPT works. Normal power regulators like this one interface between the solar panel array and the storage battery. When the...

The Sunforce #60032 controller is a decent product at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, it doesn't include maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology, so it wastes about 15-25% of the incoming power, especially at times of low solar input (which of course is when you need it most). To be fair, no charging controller that I know of in the under-$100 price range has MPPT, so I'm not knocking the #60032's value--just pointing out that if you're planning on spending the money for hundreds or thousands of watts of panels (like one recent reviewer), it probably makes sense to spend another hundred bucks and get an MPPT controller (e.g., Blue Sky or Heliotrope models) that can milk the maximum power from that expensive array... instead of throwing away part of it, as this unit does. 32 of 33 people found the following review helpful  Will keep your battery at the pefect level, By Tim G "The KOBK" (madison) - See all my reviews This review is from: Sunforce 60032 30 Amp Digital Charge Controller (Misc.) When I hocked this up I instantly started ruining some tests to see exactly how well it works and after some tweaks I can tell you I am very happy and recommend this to any one that wants to keep there battery's healthy.This thing will automatically throttle up and down the current to any battery to keep the voltage exactly were it belongs. The only had 3 problems with mine. 1. The voltage meter was off by +.2 volts! 2. The amp meter was off by -600ma! 3. This is not a mppt controller and wastes about 1 amp in my set up but for the price that is not bad. Both points 1 and 2 were easily fixed by tweaking 2 pot's inside that are very easy to get to. |
