The controller is for off-grid solar systems, especially solar light systems, and protects the
battery from being over charged by the solar module and over discharged by the loads. The
charging process has been optimized for long battery life and improved system
performance. The comprehensive self-diagnostics and electronic protection functions can
prevent damage from installation mistakes or system faults.
Though the controller is easy to operate and use, please take your time to read this manual
and become familiar with it. This will help you make full use of all the functions and improve
