Key Component of a Solar System Over 15 Watts

A charge controller is a very important feature of a solar system and must be used on all systems over 15 Watts. A charge controller protects your batteries from overcharge and discharge. Charge controllers are the maintenance free protection of your solar panel and batteries.

A charge controller monitors the battery’s state-of-charge to insure that when the battery needs change-current, it gets it, and also insures the battery isn’t overcharged. Connecting a solar panel to a battery without a regulator seriously risks damaging the battery and potentially causing a safety concern.

Charge controllers are rated based on the amount of amperage they can process from a solar array.

Can't go wrong with this controller.

August 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

I have used several types of and different brands of charge controllers for my solar systems. Although I have switched to a MPPT controller for my main system, I still use this model Sunforce for two other stationary and one portable system. I like the built in meter display, and I especially like the heavy gauge wires for the battery and panel connections that are built into the unit. Saves having to strip wire ends and poking them into screw holes. And this controller does actually switch into float mode when battery is full. This is the controller I recommend to my friends just starting out in solar. A solid performing unit and a good price.

Working flawlessly since I installed it

This charge controller has been working flawlessly since I installed it. I hooked it up to the Insta-park 50w solar panel I bought from amazon and am using the system to charge a deep cycle battery to run the 12v water pump that I used for my house.

This is the solar panel I bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004OZDI7O/ref=wms_ohs_product

I love this system; I wish I would have known about these systems a long time ago. I thought that solar systems were complex and you had to have someone knowledgeable to install them. NO WAY!!!

Simple systems like these save an incredible amount of money and are VERY easy to install.

I installed the flotec water tank bladder that I bought on amazon also to store pressurized water so the 12v water pump doesn't have to turn on every time I turn on the water.

This is the bladder I bought (I have 2 of them connected to each other) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002YWTO4/ref=wms_ohs_product

I don't have to do a thing to maintain this Charge Controller; it just does it's job like it's supposed to. Wish I could say the same for the ex; know what I mean? Woooooooooo Hooooooooooooo

Works, but only after some struggles...

I purchased this in conjunction with a solar panel to keep a charge on the 12 volt batter in my camper. It came packaged nicely and the instructions, while not overly verbose, seemed adequate to the task as there are only 2 wires (each with a negative and a positive terminal) to connect. The wires that connect to the battery are clearly marked positive and negative, so it was easy to figure out which goes where. As for the wires that connect tot he solar panel, one is marked with a red band (indicating it is the positive connection) and the other, by default, the negative. I thus connected it in this fashion and nothing happened. It was as if the solar panel was not seeing any daylight. My first thought was the solar panel was not seeing enough sunlight, however my trusty voltmeter connected to the solar panel quickly proved this wrong - the panel was generating close to 20 volts DC (which is what one would expect of this panel in moderate sunlight). I reconnected, and still no luck - the charge controller would not charge. In fact, it did not even indicate the presence of the solar panel. Ordinarily I would have returned it at that point, but I needed the controller for a week long camping trip I was leaving on in 2 days, and could not get a replacement in time (I tried - believe me). As a last ditch effort, I reversed the positive and negative wires coming out of the charge controller and connected to the solar panel, and voila - it worked. So long story short, the wires were mismarked at the manufacturer.

Having made that change, the controller has since worked as expected. So only 3 stars for the mismarked wires.

2 uses and it died

I used this with one 2x3 ft panel on my tini campers 2 marine battery array. Twice!
Second time, I set it up to charge my batteries, I came home and it said "1". So I unhooked it gave it time to reset,then hooked it up.... And, it lost its mind putting out a rolling display and stopped charging all together... Then it went blank.

No cool

This does a good job.

I have this charge controller a marine deep-cycle battery, and a 1000W power inverter and a single 30W solar panel. This gives me plenty of power for an electric drill and several lights. If I completely discharge the battery, it will take about 3 days to charge it back up to full, but otherwise, it does a real nice job keeping it topped off. Over the winter, I pulled my battery from my riding mower and connected it in with my marine battery. That kept the mower battery from dieing, and provided a little more power for my shed. I anticipate getting an additional solar panel in the future, but for now, this keeps my shed available for a couple of hours of lighting on an occasional basis.

This gives a nice display of the battery voltage, and the status of the solar panel (Charging, float, insufficient power). It is very set and forget.

Small, simple and works well, you might need to buy a connector.

November 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

This controller is much smaller than I thought from the pictures and I'm going to just mount it right inside my batter box. Comes with 2 pairs of wires, one with rings to slip right on your battery the others stripped, so you'll likely need to buy some connectors to hook to a solar panel. Works perfectly for me so far (one day) shoe the voltage being sent to the battery from the solar panel and indicates if it is in charge or maintain mode, overall a nice little unit.

Cost effective controller.

May 30, 2014

I left it sitting in the garage for more than a year before I finally hooked it up. I am glad it was overcast and dusk when I first hooked my two 140watt solar panels to it (in parallel). After ensuring it was working properly and charging my deep cycle battery I discovered the controller is rated for MAX 150watt input and remembered that I intended to get a separate charge controller for every panel. (I immediately rewired system to feed from only one panel.)

Awesome unit for the money

November 29, 2013

Verified Purchase

I bought this unit to work with my solar panels to recharge the batteries in my camp trailer during the day. I am very happy with the performance so far. The price is very reasonable and the output lights/display are useful indicators of battery condition and state of charging. This is the third controller that I have bought for various projects and I like the Sunforce the best so far.

First one faulty

The first one stopped working before I completed installation, not sure why. Ordered another as I now have a hole cut for it - fingers crossed.

This one actually works.

It does not draw down the battery just for "being turned on" like those do

I replaced the one that came with the Harbor Freight kit. It does not draw down the battery just for "being turned on" like those do.

Works well, easy to setup and use, I do wish the wires in the back were connected to terminals on the back I could remove instead of being hard wired internally.Read more
