Instapark® SML-40 PWM 40 Amp Solar Power Charge Controller, 600 Watt at 12V / 1,200 Watt at 24V

Instapark® SML-40 PWM 40 Amp Solar Power Charge Controller, 600 Watt at 12V / 1,200 Watt at 24V
The Instapark SML series solar charge controllers are designed and engineered to prevent your solar-powered battery from overcharging and excessive discharging, therefore protect your investment and extend the battery life. The SML series solar charge controllers are equipped with PWM technology to ensure that your batteries reach their maximum charging capacities without causing any damage to the battery. Similar to other modern high quality battery chargers, PWM algorithm gradually reduces the charging current to avoid over-heating of the battery, yet the charging continues to return the maximum amount of energy to the battery in the shortest time resulting in higher charging efficiency, fast recharging and a healthy battery at its full capacity.

Each SML series charge controller comes with three LED indicators displaying real-time battery charge capacity. There are two more LED lights, one for charging status and the other is for load status.

All SML series solar charge controllers are in full conformance with both CE and RoHS standards and are backed up by a standard 2-year manufacturer’s warranty.

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Solar Power for Your Home

The Complete Idiots Guide to Solar Power for Your Home
Demand for solar power has grown consistently by 20 to 25% per annum over the past 20 years. In the past few years this rate has actually climbed to 40%. Why? Advances in solar cells, lower costs of using solar power, unpredictable utility rates, consumer frustration with the lack of utility choices, and environmental issues have all converged to create a renewed interest in and rising demand for solar power. Over 25 states, and many more municipalities, are now offering tax and utility credits to those who use solar energy. The Complete Idiot’s GuideA (R) to Solar Power for Your Home will show average readers how to generate their own electricity with solar panels. The book will cover everything short of how to physically install solar panels-something that should be left to the experts.
