Operating Instructions

Please read these instructions before use

This revolutionary maximum power point tracker solar charger 

was designed using the technology that won GSL Electronics the 

prestigious “2008 EDN Innovation award”. A simple, compact, 

low cost and highly efficient way to charge sealed or vented 24V 

batteries from low voltage or parallel panels with built in Low 

Voltage Disconnect, Load Remote Control or Dusk to Dawn mode.
