Common Questions

What battery types are compatible with this controller?

This controller is compatible with sealed AGM/gel and flooded lead-acid batteries. It features pre-set charging programmes for these types and allows for adjustable low voltage battery protection.

How does PWM technology benefit my solar system?

PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology improves the battery's charge acceptance, helping to extend its overall lifespan. It can also assist in recovering some lost battery capacity, leading to more reliable and consistent power.

Can I use this controller to manage lighting schedules?

Yes, the Photonic Universe WREG30 features fully programmable load working modes. This allows you to set precise on/off timers for connected loads, making it ideal for automating lighting, fans, or pumps in your off-grid setup.

What is the maximum solar panel input capacity?

For a 12V battery system, the controller supports up to 480W of solar panel power. For a 24V battery system, it can handle an impressive 960W. The maximum input voltage from solar panels is 55V.

Installation Notes

  • Always connect the battery to the controller first, before connecting solar panels.
  • Ensure all wiring is correctly sized for the current and properly terminated.
  • Mount the controller in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or excessive heat.
  • Refer to the detailed instruction manual provided with the controller for specific wiring diagrams and operational procedures.

Before You Buy

  • Verify your battery system voltage (12V or 24V) matches the controller's auto-detection capability.
  • Confirm your total solar panel wattage does not exceed 480W (for 12V) or 960W (for 24V).
  • Check that your solar panel's open circuit voltage (Voc) does not exceed 55V.
  • Ensure the controller's rated current (30A) is appropriate for your solar array and load.

Please verify all specifications and compatibility requirements for your specific system before purchase. This product is backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
