    SOLAR CONTROLLER Cover the panel from the sun when connecting panel to controller. Always turn off the load before connecting to the motor. The controller automatically detects system voltage based on battery voltage. If the batteries are too low, the controller will think it is a 12V system. When this happens, the controller will not charge the batteries.
