Charge controllers & displays for solar systems

A charge controller is absolutely necessary for off-grid solar systems for independent and self-sufficient power generation, e.g., on motorhomes, caravans, campers, vans, and sailboats.

Function of a charge controller
The charge controller is connected to the solar panels and the battery for overcharge protection. To prevent deep discharge of the battery by the loads, the charge controller is also connected to the battery if no deep discharge protection is present on board. The charge controller is therefore the control center and an important protective measure for the solar system.

Charge controllers may have additional functions
Some charge controllers have a temperature sensor, display of the charge status, charging current, load current, battery voltage, operating status of the solar system, warning signals, and much more. SOLARA offers charge controllers with a wide range of additional functions.

Charge controllers are available in various designs.
Charge controllers must be compatible with the battery type. Charge controllers are available in various designs and qualities. SOLARA offers a wide selection for all battery types and sizes of solar systems.

SOLARA offers the right charge controller for every application – a uniquely large selection from four renowned manufacturers.
