Please note that the junction box protrudes approximately 0.5cm beyond the frame, which means that there must be some space left between the frame and flat surface when mounting each panel (note 1.0 - 1.5cm space under each panel is typically recommended for cooling).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10A solar charge controller:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes a \u003cstrong\u003e10A 12V\/24V Photonic Universe solar charge controller\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to protect batteries whilst charging them, with automatic cut off to prevent over-charging and deep discharge. The controller uses \u003cem\u003ePWM (Pulse Width Modulation)\u003c\/em\u003e technology which increases charge acceptance and prolongs the life of your battery.
