4 FAQs about How to charge inferior photovoltaic panels

How to choose a solar charge controller?

Before purchasing a charge controller, make sure it fits the solar panel system. The main parameter you're looking for is maximum amps. Amps of a controller must be bigger than the combined power of all solar panels divided by the voltage of the battery. Let's say we have two 300W panels and a 12V battery. Now we calculate the amps:

Can I connect a solar panel to a charge controller?

If you connect the solar panel to a charge controller first, it may not initialize correctly. After you've connected the charge controller to the battery, it is now safe to connect it to the panels. Out of the junction box of a panel come two cables, a positive and a negative.

How big should a solar charge controller be?

On cold days panels produce more current than usual and it's better to be ready for it: The size of a controller must be bigger than 62.5 A. Alongside maximum amps, the charge controller has maximum input voltage. It's the upper limit of voltage it can handle from the power source, such as solar array.

Should I wire a solar panel controller to a battery?

It's advised to wire the controller to the battery first before connecting it to a solar array. Controllers often have to perform an initialization when they get connected to a battery during which the regulator evaluates the battery's state. If you connect the solar panel to a charge controller first, it may not initialize correctly.
