Description

The simplicity and high performance of the Steca Solarix PRS 1515 Solar Charge Controller 12V – 24V 15A make it particularly appealing. At the same time, it offers a modern design and a convenient display, all at an extremely attractive price. Several LEDs in various colours give information on the battery‘s state of charge. Here, Steca’s latest algorithms are employed, resulting in optimal battery maintenance. The Steca Solarix PRS 1515 Solar Charge Controller 12 – 24 V are equipped with an electronic fuse, thus making optimal protection possible. They operate on the serial principle, and separate the solar module from the battery in order to protect it against overcharging.

For larger projects, the charge controllers can also be equipped with special functions: e.g. with night light function and selectable charging plateau and deep-discharge protection voltages.

solar charge-controllers-for off-grid-solar pv systems

Majority of the German Steca off-grid solar components are high-performance charge controllers designed to protect the batteries in your system at a reasonable price. Robust and effective, these charge regulators are perfectly suited to small and medium off-grid solar panel systems where the input voltage is not too much higher than the system voltage.

There are three different types of solar charge controllers, they are:
  • Simple 1 or 2 stage controls.
  • PWM (pulse width modulated)
  • Maximum power point tracking (MPPT)
Add up the total watts of solar panels and divide by either 14.4 for 12-volt systems 28.8 for 24 volts or 58.8 for 48-volt battery banks. This will give you maximum output amps from the controller. If you don’t want to waste output in heat, size the controller at around two-thirds the rated output of the controller.

Charging your battery at 12 volts and 20 amps will take five hours to charge a 100 amp hour battery. By multiplying 20 amps by 12 volts, 240 watts is how big of a panel you would need, so we’d recommend using a 300w solar panel or 3 100 watt solar panels.

Take the power produced by the solar panels and divide by the voltage of the batteries. For example: Example: A solar array is producing 1 kw and charging a battery bank of 24V. The controller size is then 1000/24 = 41.67 amps.

A wind or solar pv charge controller‘s primary function is to protect your battery bank from overcharging. It does this by monitoring the battery bank—when the bank is fully charged, the controller sends energy from the battery bank to a dump (diversion) load.

You typically want to make sure you have a Steca charge controller that is large enough to handle the amount of power and current produced by your panels. Typically, Steca charge controllers come in 12, 24 and 48 volts. Amperage ratings can be between one and 60 amps and voltage ratings from six to 60 volts.

The exception to this rule is when using solar panels smaller than 5 Watts. Select a Steca charge controller that is compatible with the system voltage. The standard configurations are 12, 24, and 48 volts. If you are wiring your batteries for 24 volts you need a Steca charge controller that is rated at 24 volts.
