Charge controllers regulate the flow of power from a solar, wind, or hydro source to a battery, preventing overcharging and protecting system components. Depending on the model, they may include features like load disconnects, lighting controls, or diversion functions for redirecting excess energy. Available in capacities from 4 to 80 amps, they can also be combined for larger off‑grid or backup power systems. Selecting the right solar charge controller is essential for protecting your battery bank and maximizing solar efficiency. For those building a complete system, see our Batteries & Accessories range for compatible storage solutions.
Modern controllers use PWM or MPPT technology to improve charging efficiency. PWM maintains batteries at full charge through rapid switching, while MPPT optimizes power harvest by converting higher array voltages into the ideal charging voltage, boosting output by up to 30% and allowing smaller, more cost‑effective wiring. MPPT and PWM controllers come in a variety of amp ratings and voltage options, supporting both 12V and 48V setups. For seamless integration with your solar panel array, explore PV Solar Panels for high-quality modules.
Advanced features like Bluetooth monitoring, app control, and low-voltage disconnect enable precise regulation and real-time system management. For off-grid solar systems, our Off Grid Systems lineup ensures reliable power delivery in remote locations.
