This results in a smaller overall solar panel, which is ideal for applications where space is limited. These solar cells are also the best choice for applications in warmer climates, as they operate well even in high ambient temperatures.\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 solar panel 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 PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology which increases charge acceptance and prolongs the life of your battery. Often PWM technology can recover some lost battery capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis controller stops reverse current at night (from the battery back to the solar panel) so your battery won't lose any charge.\u003c\/strong\u003e It has many other protection functions such as \u003cstrong\u003eover charge \/ discharge, over load, short circuit, overheating\u003c\/strong\u003e etc. Other features of this controller include LED indicators, temperature sensor, and a load \"on\/off\" button.
