5. Can I Extend the Wire?
A. The 10' wire can be extended up to 15' for a max of 25', without loss of power or voltage.
7 AMP SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER SPECIFICATIONS
Cut-in Voltage:
13 Volts
Cut-out Voltage:
14.2 Volts
Max. Load: 105 watts
INSTALLATION
Connect to Battery:
Connect the Solar Charge Controller (SCC) battery side (right)
positive to the positive battery terminal and the negative wire to the negative battery terminal.
Connect to Solar Panel:
Option 1:
Strip the wire from the solar panel and connect positive to positive and negative to negative of SCC. Ensure connections are secure.
Option 2:
Some panels may include a quick connect for use with the SCC. If
SCC. Ensure connections are secure.
In Operation:
GREEN LIGHT INDICATES BATTERY IS FULL
When battery reaches 14.2V, the SCC will cut out thereby ensuring no overcharging of the battery.
YELLOW LIGHT INDICATES SOLAR PANEL IS CHARGING
When battery reaches a voltage below 13V, the SCC will cut in and charging will resume.
IT IS NORMAL FOR BOTH LIGHTS TO FLICKER IN AND OUT DURING NORMAL OPERATION.
GENERAL INFO
1. How do solar cells generate electricity?
A. Solar Panels, also known as Photovoltaics or PV for short can be thought of as a direct current
(DC) generator powered by the sun. When light photons of sufficient energy strike a solar cell,
they knock electrons free in the structure forcing them through an external circuit (battery or direct
DC load), and then returning them to the other side of the solar cell to start the process all over
again.
2. Will solar work in my location?
A. Solar is universal and will work virtually anywhere, however some locations are better than
others. Irradiance is a measure of the sun's power available at the surface of the earth and it
averages about 1000 watts per square meter. Obviously different parts of the world receive more
sunlight from others, so they will have more "full sun hours" per day.
3. These panels are made of amorphous type solar cells. What is the difference between
amorphous cells and polycrystalline cells?
A. Amorphous solar panels contain no cells per say but are created rather through a deposition
process which actually forms the silicon material directly on the glass substrate. To understand this
a bit clearer, think of it as spraying the silicon onto the glass in very thin layers. This film which
gives amorphous panels the "thin-film" nick name, is laser patterned which interconnects instead
of physical connecting tabs which eliminates a mechanical connection that can break down and
fail. The amount of silicon used in this process produces a film, which is often up to 100 times
thinner than that of a polycrystalline cell. Furthermore, amorphous type solar cells are better at
generating electricity in all lighting conditions
