Compact and Durable 12V Charging Solution for Small Solar Setups

Engineered for small photovoltaic systems, this 12V solar charge controller delivers exceptional reliability in a highly compact form factor. By combining a highly efficient charging circuit with a rugged, fully encapsulated enclosure, it provides a dependable solution for single-module solar installations. Whether you are maintaining a battery on a small boat, powering a remote gate motor, or setting up a basic 12V off-grid system, this regulator ensures your batteries receive optimal charge without the vulnerability of exposed electronics.

Advanced Solid-State PWM Technology

At the core of this unit is a 100% solid-state series design, which operates far more efficiently than traditional shunt controllers. It utilises a true 0 to 100% Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) duty cycle, delivering a highly precise charge to your 12V battery bank. With a setpoint accuracy to 60 mV, it helps prevent overcharging and extends overall battery life. Furthermore, built-in temperature compensation automatically adjusts charging parameters based on ambient conditions, ensuring consistent performance across a wide range of Australian climates.

Rugged Protection for Extreme Environments

Remote and off-grid environments demand robust components. To prevent moisture ingress, dust accumulation, and corrosion, the internal electronics are fully encapsulated in high-grade epoxy potting. This completely sealed construction is housed within an impact-resistant ABS plastic case, making it highly resilient against physical shocks and harsh outdoor elements.

Voltage spikes and electrical storms pose a significant risk to remote solar systems. To mitigate this, the controller features integrated lightning protection equipped with 1500 W transorbs, safeguarding your investment against unpredictable electrical surges.

Efficient and Low Maintenance

Designed to operate flawlessly without user intervention, the controller boasts an exceptionally low self-consumption rate of just 6 mA. This minimal power draw ensures that more of your solar energy is directed straight into the battery. It is also rated to handle 25% overloads safely without any need to derate the system, providing extra headroom and peace of mind during peak solar production periods.
