SOLAR TAKING CHARGE OF THE SUN HARNESS THE SUN

Transcription

1 HARNESS THE SUN TAKING CHARGE OF THE SUN Solar panels capture the sunlight converting it into useable electric power, however without a solar controller to regulate this power it will ultimately damage your battery through excessive charge and even discharge at night. Projecta offers an extensive range of automatic solar charge controllers in both 2 stage and 3 stage models with varying amperage ratings. Each of the controllers can be left connected indefinitely to the battery keeping it fully charged, monitoring its condition and performing a process called float charge to keep the battery in optimum condition.

2 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 2 STAGE & 3 STAGE CHARGE CONTROLLERS 2 stage controllers are suitable for use on automotive batteries while 3 stage controllers can be used on both automotive and deep cycle batteries. The additional stage called absorption ensures the battery receives a full and comprehensive charge whilst monitoring the battery s condition to ensure it isn t overcharged. 2 STAGE CHARGE SOLAR VOLTAGE CURRENT (AMPS) 1. BULK CHARGING Automatically stops when battery is full 2. FLOAT Continues to top up battery keeping it fully charged 3 STAGE CHARGE VOLTAGE CURRENT (AMPS) 1. BULK CHARGING 2. ABSORPTION 3. CONSTANT VOLTAGE FLOAT Automatically stops when battery is full SOLAR CONTROLLERS Ensures a full charge to the battery without overcharging Maintains constant voltage keeping battery fully charged 2 Stage 3 Stage 3 Stage & Remote Available in 7 Amp and 10 Amp models, these entry level controllers offer basic charging control via a 2 stage process. They are the minimum unit required when utilising solar power, offering protection against both solar overcharge and discharge. Projecta offers four units utilising 3 stage charge control, ideal for use on both automotive and deep cycle batteries. Featuring intelligent electronics that control DC appliances without over discharging the battery and an in-built temperature sensor that adjusts. The SC320D unit offers all the features of the 3 stage chargers with the added benefit of a remote control meter. The remote offers an adjustable chemistry feature enabling the user to set the charging profile to precisely match the battery chemistry type for a thorough and comprehensive charge.
