C12 Charge Controller
12 Amps
The C12's field configurability and feature packed design makes it the only small PV controller you need!
Photovoltaic Charge Controller
- Silent, solid state, series pulse width modulated (PWM) charge control with 3-stage (bulk, absorb, & float).
- Field adjustable setpoints with removable knobs to reduce tampering (bulk range: 13.0 to 17.0 VDC).
- Electronic short circuit, overload, overtemperature and reverse polarity protection improves reliability.
- Automatic reset of overload protection system--eliminates problems of tripped breakers and blown fuses.
- High efficiency, "No diode" design without electronics in the negative conductors (as per NEC code).
- Optional plug-in/replaceable temperature compensation sensor --ideal for sealed batteries.
- Continous rating of 12 amps @ 113°F /45°C and 8 amps @ 150°F/65°C for severe environments.
- Designed for 15 amps of short-circuit PV array current (typically about four 50 watt modules).
- Two stage lightning and surge suppression through both active and passive protection components.
- Equalize mode (@ bulk+1DC for 2 hours) with automatic activation every 30 days or if LVD is reached (defeatable).
DC Load Controller
- Automatic low voltage disconnect (LVD) with adjustable setpoint (LVD range 10.5 to 12.5 VDC).
- Automatic low voltage reconnect (LVR) with adjustable setpoint (LVR range 12.0 to 14.0 VDC)
- Selectable automatic or manuals reconnection of loads after low voltage disconnect accurs.
- Electronic short-circuit, overload, overtemperature and reverse polarity protection improves reliability.
- Continous rating of 12 amps @ 113°F /45°C and 8 amps @ 150°F/65°C for severe environments.
- Low voltage disconnect warning system--blinks loads on-off-on when the battery voltage is below the low voltage disconnect setting after a two minute delay. Loads are then disconnected after a 5 minute additional time delay unless loads have been reduced and voltage has risen above the low voltage disconnect setpoint.
- Manual reset switch on bottom of enclosure allows one-time 10 minute grace period for operation of DC loads after reset has accurred. Additional pushes have no effect until voltage reaches the low voltage reconnect setting.
Automatic Lighting Controller
- Automatic control of lighting systems with nighttime detection by using the PV array as a photocell.
- Adjustable run duration from 2 to 8 hours or "dusk to dawn" all night operation of lights, unless LVD is reached.
- Electronic short-circuit, overload, overtemperature and reverse polarity protection improves reliability.
- Continous rating of 12 amps @ 113°F /45°C and 8 amps @ 150°F/65°C for severe environments.
- Manual reset switch on bottom of enclosure allows testing of lights during daytime or after LVD has accured.
Applications:
- Village Power
- Cabin/Vacation Homes

- Sign Lighting
- Bus Shelters
- Telecommunication.

“Just wanted to let you know the last of my order arrived today and I am very happy with your service. I plan to use this solar equipment at my cabin in Idaho. Many of my cabin neighbors use solar power as the sole source of electrical power and I will be sure and let them know how happy I was with your service. Who knows, you may get some more business from them and me.”
