Charging batteries with solar power is great on the
environment and for batteries. Charging and
maintaining batteries through solar will result in better
battery performance and longer battery life. With solar
chargers rated 15 watts or more, we recommend the
use of a controller. It’s no surprise that if a battery
reaches full charge, but the sun keeps on shining, you
risk overcharging the battery. Solar controllers regulate
the voltage output from the solar panel and prevent
batteries from being overcharged.
