12V wiring 

 
In this section, we will show the basic 12V and 24V connections for off-grid systems that use a 
PWM- type controller. Please follow them thoroughly.  
 

 

Caution!

 

 

The battery must first be wired to the charge controller before the solar 
panel is connected to the charge controller.

 

 

6.1 Battery to charge controller 

 

The  battery(s) must first  be  connected to  the  charge  controller  before  proceeding  to  any  other 
connections. Most PWM Controllers have automatic battery voltage detection, and the controller 
must detect what voltage level it will be charging at.  
 
 

 

Figure 6.1 

Charge controller connected to a 12V battery 

 

 
Before starting the connection, keep in mind the following: 
 

  The charge controller should be as close as possible to the batteries. This helps keep line 

loss to a minimum level. 

  Remember  to  always  use  the  recommended  gauge  size  based  on  the  PV  system  and 

charge controller.
