Why is a solar regulator required?
The main function of the solar regulator or controller is to keep batteries fully charged. The solar controller regulates the flow of electricity from a solar panel to the battery without allowing the battery to be overcharged and at the same time prevents current flowing back from the battery to the solar panel during night. A solar charge controller constantly monitors the battery voltage. When the batteries are fully charged, the controller will stop or decrease the amount of current flowing from the solar panels into the battery. When the batteries are being discharged to a low level, many controllers will stop the current flowing from the battery to the DC Load.
Naturally, without overcharge protection the life expectancy of batteries are reduced. Controllers vary in type from simple controllers to more sophisticated controllers that utilize pulse width modulation (PWM) or maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to assure the battery is being kept fully charged.
