Morningstar SunSaver SS-10-12V PWM Charge Controller

Since the introduction in 1996, more than 1.5 million SunSaver Controllers have set the standard for reliability and performance in demanding oilfield and mining installations in nearly 90 countries around the globe. Today, SunSaver is the world's leading small solar controller for industrial and consumer markets, proven in missioncritical applications where failure is simply not an option. This third generation SunSaver brings over two decades of advances in software and electronics to the same rugged, hardened design that made the original famous. Own both a legend and the latest in a single product. Morningstar's advanced SunLight SL-10L-12V solar lighting controller combines the SunSaver design with a microcontroller for automatic lighting control functions. The SunLight series technology provides: proven reliability, precise lighting control and PWM battery charging. Four versions are available: 12 Volt 10 Amp ratings, 12 Volt 20 Amp ratings, 24 Volt 10 Amp ratings, and 24 Volt 20 Amp ratings. Morningstar's SunLight charge controllers have a variety of individual lighting control features, which; determine day and night with ten different preset lighting control options, measuring the length of the night (which is calculated by taking a moving four night average, and adjusts for seasonal changes). The SunLight's controller series carries an expected fifteen year life span, they are easy to use, and have high efficiency with a low self-consumption. The SunLight-10 parallels with the SunSaver for 40 Amps solar, and includes a SunSaver battery charging circuit.
