About Solar Charge Controllers
A solar charge controller is an electronic device that regulates the rate of current flow to and from electric batteries to prevent overcharging and damage due to overvoltage. This not only enhances the operational efficiency of the batteries but also increases their lifespan. An inverter is a device that converts direct current (DC) generated by solar panels and wind turbines into alternate current (AC). This is then supplied to a central electric grid. Inverters are broadly classified into three types: Grid-tie, battery backup, and stand-alone. These inverters are integrated with different energy sources and allow connection with multiple parallel units.
