Solar charge controllers allow batteries to safely charge and discharge using the output of solar panels. A charge controller is needed any time a battery will be connected to the direct current (DC) output of solar panels; most often in small off-grid systems. The two kinds of charge controllers are pulse-width modulation (PWM) and maximum
2 · The charge controller is a key component of a solar power system and specifying the best one for the system requires some analysis. Below is a quick overview. The two types of charge controllers most commonly used in today''s solar power systems are pulse width modulation (PWM) and maximum power point tracking (MPPT).
A PWM (pulse width modulation) controller can be thought of as an (electronic) switch between the solar panels and the battery: The switch is ON when the charger mode is in bulk charge mode; The switch is "flicked" ON and OFF as needed (pulse width modulated) to hold the battery voltage at the absorption voltage
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is the most effective means to achieve constant voltage battery charging by switching the solar system controller''s power devices. When in PWM regulation, the current from the solar array tapers according to the battery''s condition and recharging needs.

2024613 · PWM controllers regulate the flow of energy to the battery by reducing the current gradually, called "pulse width modulation". When batteries are full, PWM charge controllers continue to supply a tiny
2020416 · Pulse Width Modulation Basics. PWM simulates different voltage outputs via a repeating series of pulses. These pulses occur at a steady rate, but the length of each pulse varies depending on the simulated voltage. We express this variance in pulse length as a PWM ''duty cycle,'' which we can establish as a percentage using the following
