Solar Regulator - Prostar 30A 12V/24V

If you've decided to take advantage of the many benefits of solar power, you will need a solar regulator. A solar regulator connects your solar panel to your battery. It will ensure that all the available power generated by your solar panel is transferred efficiently to your battery. It will also protect your battery from overcharging and prevent any reverse current flow from your battery into your solar panel during the night. This regulator can be used for 12 or 24 Volt systems (automatic select) and will handle a solar panel array of up to 520 watts in a 12 volt system or 1040 watts in a 24 volt system.

This second generation ProStar regulator adds new features and protection using highly advanced technology. It provides longer battery life. With the improved system performance, it sets new standards for reliability and self-diagostics.
