What is a regulator?
It is a device responsible for controlling the flow of energy between the photovoltaic field and the batteries.
MPPT
An MPPT Regulator is an energy controller between the photovoltaic field and the batteries, with this type of regulator greater performance is obtained from the photovoltaic modules since it makes them work at maximum power, it also admits the possibility of adding more panels in series with a voltage higher than the battery bank.
The only drawback that we find in these regulators is that they are a little more expensive and somewhat larger in size.
These are more convenient for installations with panels of 60 cells or high photovoltaic field, they help to better maintain the batteries since they have advanced algorithms to charge and protect them.
PWM
A PWM Regulator is a controller of the energy between the solar panels and the batteries, the pwm are recommended for small solar installations
We offer solar regulators of the best brands so that you have perfect control of your solar installation and battery charge regulator. We have regulators with information through a display screen, as well as PWM-type regulators for basic and medium-sized installations.
For voltages of 12 and 24 volts, necessary to control the charge and discharge of a battery or accumulator within a solar installation.
What solar regulator do I need depending on the type of solar panel?
Normal regulator (PWM): Whether you have 12V solar panels to use in an isolated (or autonomous) 12V solar installation, or if you have 24V solar panels and 72 cells to use in a 24V installation, you should use a normal regulator (PWM type). Which is the cheapest and most suitable for this type of solar panel.
Maximizer regulator (MPPT): If you have 24V solar panels and 60 cells (power panels greater than 200W), to use in a 24V isolated solar installation, you must use an MPPT maximizer regulator. Necessary to amplify the voltage of these solar panels, so that when it reaches the batteries it is high and the energy is stored well. The MPPT regulator is more expensive but is necessary with this type of board. Which without the use of the MPPT, the useful life of the batteries would be damaged since it could not be equalized and they would be sulfated in a few months.
