Many of us who is using normal inverter and battery for a long time but due to high prices of electricity bill, or frequent power outages if you want to upgrade yourself towards for solar energy, to save more electricity bills, getting power 24x7 or make the environment clean from pollution. This is the best time to go for Solar as Price of solar panels has reduced drastically in last few years, therefore, it has become affordable for ordinary people with low income.
Why We Should Buy Solar Charge Controller?
There are two reasons behind to buy solar charge controllers, such as
- If you have already normal inverter, then solar charge controller converts normal inverter into solar inverter.
- If you are living which location where an electricity is not available, or you are facing to charge mobile phones, or if you want to run a DC bulbs or ceiling fans.
So, if you are a regular user and you know how to use of inverter and battery, then it is easier for you to connect normal inverter to solar inverter. As you need two more components to run solar.
- Solar Charge Controller
- Solar Panel
In above diagram, connection of normal inverter with solar charge controller and solar panel shown
If you want more information how to connect ordinary inverter with solar then you can also refer our below given image, it will tell you connection process for the same.
What are the Components required to run upgraded solar inverter?
1. Solar Panel
2. DC Wire Connection
3. Charge Controller
4. Inverter Battery
5. Running Load
- Solar Panels: It absorbs ray of sunlight from sun and converts it into electricity using semiconductor.
- Solar Charge Controller: It is the most important components of solar system, so let's discuss about why should we buy solar charge controller.
Benefits of Solar Charge Controllers:
- It controls charging current and supply required to battery to avoid overcharging.
- It helps to increase life of battery
- It also to stop reverse current coming to solar panels from grid.
- It is used for safety of solar panel and battery
Types of Solar Charge Controllers:
- PWM Charge Controller (Pulse width Modulating)
- MPPT Charge Controller (Maximum Power Point Tracking)
PWM vs. MPPT Solar Charge Controller:
You can understand in very simple, what are the main difference between PWM Vs. MPPT solar charge controller, such as:
| PWM Solar Charge Controller | MPPT Solar Charge Controller |
| It is lower price | It is an affordable price |
| It is available upto 60amps maximum | It is available upto 120amps |
| Available in wider variety size | Limited edition available |
| It is suitable for small size solar systems | It is suitable for large size solar systems |
| It is built on time tested technology | It increases efficiency upto 30% |
| Physical Size Small | Physical Size Large |
Normal Inverter:
It is used mainly to convert DC current to AC current. Besides, It has many indicators on display that tells about low battery indication, main charging, solar charging, eco mode etc. It also has feature to fast charging of battery. It also shows load is running on battery, mains or from solar panels.
Types of Normal Inverters
- Off grid solar inverters
- On grid solar inverters or Grid tie solar inverters
- Battery Back-up solar inverters
- Micro-inverter solar inverters
Normal Battery
It stores DC power backup and it is primarily used when electricity is not available. It comes in many variant like 12volt, 24volt, 36volt and 48volt etc. But popular is 12volt battery system. Battery backup starts from 7ah to 220ah for residential. But popular battery is 150ah. It comes in two variant SMF (Sealed maintained free) battery and Liquid Battery. Liquid battery is more popular as tubular battery over flat battery. Tubular Battery gives more power backup and also it discharge slowly once it is not in use than flat plate battery.
Top 10 Solar Charge Controllers For Solar System With Price List in India
Find out the top 10 solar charge controllers, what it does, how it works, and how to select the correct size for an off grid solar power system. It is basically a voltage and/or current regulator to keep batteries from overcharging. It regulates the voltage and current coming from the solar panels going to the battery. Most 12 volt panels put out about 16 to 18 volts, so if there is no regulation the batteries will be damaged overcharging.

I’m Angel Castor from the US. White Caucasian Female. I’m 43 years old and I got married at the age of 25, I have only two children and I am living happily.
After five years of marriage my husband’s behavior became so strange that I didn’t really understand what was going on. He packed out of the house to another woman’s house and I love him so much that I
never dream of losing him, I tried my best to make sure that my husband got back to me but all to no avail, I cried and cried seeking help. I discussed it with my best friend Alison and she told me she can help me. She told me of a man called Dr. Odunga, she told me he is a very great man and a real man that can be trusted and there is nothing concerning love and Pregnancy issues he cannot solve and she told me how he has helped her and countless number of people in
restoring their relationship. I quickly contacted his email address at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com I explained all my problems to him, he told me that I should not worry that all my problems will be fine. Presently, I am very happy I got my husband back to me with the help of Dr. Odunga and we are living happily with so much love for each other. What-app message/call him at +2348167159012 to help you

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

Hi All,
Don’t buy from this site, they are fake.
Service is pathetic, there is no support. I bough a luminous 12V 6A solar charge controller and it is dead on arrival and these guys are not attending my calls or giving me new piece.
