Technical FAQs 4

How do you wire a solar panel to a battery?

The wiring diagram is simple- connect the positive end of the solar panel to the positive terminal on the charge controller, the same applies to the negative ends. Using the wire cutters, cut enough wire to connect your solar panels to the charge controller. Also, cut a wire to connect the charge controller to the battery.

How do I setup my solar panels?

Follow the steps outlined below for a successful setup. Solar Panels: Ensure your panels are compatible with your battery specifications. Charge Controller: This device prevents battery overcharging and regulates current flow. Battery: Choose between lead-acid or lithium-ion based on your energy needs.

Why do solar panels need to be connected first?

Why Battery Connects First Always connect the battery to your charge controller before connecting solar panels. This sequence is crucial because charge controllers use battery voltage as a reference to determine system voltage (12V, 24V, or 48V). Connecting solar panels first can confuse the controller and potentially cause damage.

How do I connect a solar panel to a charge controller?

Use the correct gauge wire to connect the solar panel output to the charge controller input. Attach the Battery to the Charge Controller: Connect the battery to the charge controller. Start by connecting the positive (+) terminal on the battery to the positive terminal on the charge controller.
