The PL Series Regulators control the charging of batteries from solar electric panels. They protect the batteries against damage due to over charge or over discharge. They can operate as series switching, PWM or shunt regulators. All the necessary metering and data logging is provided. This allows proper system monitoring. In addition, the versatile load switch and timer allow them to function as a controller for many related applications such as lighting, watering and pumping.
