Solar Panel Controller Input Voltage

As long as the voltage is under these values the right mppt controller is easy to find.

Solar panel controller input voltage.

Even though the voltage from the solar module could be at 17vdc and the charge controller would be charging at 14v while the inverter was running happily at 13vdc input the whole system was made up of 12v nominal components so that it would all work together. A solar charge controller also known as charge regulator or solar battery maintainer is a device that manages the charging and discharging of the solar battery bank in a solar panel system. A charge controller or charge regulator is basically a voltage and or current regulator to keep batteries from overcharging. Preventing the battery from overcharging is important merely because the voltage generated by even a 12v solar panel is actually higher between 16 and 20v.

Most 12 volt panels put out about 16 to 20 volts so if there is no regulation the batteries will be damaged from overcharging. Mppt charge controllers will monitor and adjust their input to regulate the current from your solar system. In case of special requirements if these input voltages are higher than the rated values it s. It regulates the voltage and current coming from the solar panels going to the battery.
