1.0 Installation Overview
1.1 Introduction
A Solar Controller (or Charge Controller / Regulator) is an essential
component of your photovoltaic solar system. The Controller maintains
the life of the battery by protecting it from overcharging. When your
battery has reached a 100% state of charge, the Controller prevents
overcharging by limiting the current flowing into the batteries from your
solar array.
The GP-PWM-10 is a 12-volt photovoltaic (PV) charge controller rated
for a continuous solar current input of 10 amps. The GP-PWM-10 uses
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology and a unique four stage
charging system that includes an optional equalize setting to charge and
protect your battery bank. The GP-PWM-10 features an LCD digital
display that shows the charge current of the solar array, system battery
voltage, battery capacity and number of amp hours charged.
