Morningstar Sunlight 20L 12V controller for Solar Lighting
The Sunlight Solar Lighting Controller, or SLC, is a solar panel charge regulator for 12V PV systems. Rated at 20A (240W), it's a bit more powerful than the 10A unit (which we also stock).
This charger controller has a digital rotary switch for selecting 10 different lighting options. It uses the voltage input to calculate day & night (as well as charge your battery). It can then switch on lighting one or two hours before sunrise and a set number of hours after sunset. Alternatively, lights can be kept off or on all night.
Perfect for street lights, bus stops and signs.

These controllers provide pulse width modulation (PWM) charging, which can double the life of a battery compared with On-Off charging. This typically sends 30% more solar energy into the battery per day. Average battery State-of-Charge is 90-95% compared to 55-60% for On-Off regulators.
