Why is a controller needed?
The main function of a regulator or controller is to keep batteries fully charged by regulating the flow of electricity to the battery without allowing overcharging of the battery and preventing current flowing back from the battery to connected apparatus at night. Naturally, without overcharge protection the life expectancy of batteries are reduced. Controllers vary in type from simple controllers to more sophisticated controllers that utilize pulse width modulation (PWM) or maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to assure the battery is being and kept fully charged.

Solar charge controllers or regulators are recommended to avoid battery damage from overcharging or deep discharge. The Steca range of regulators are designed for simplicity of installation and can be used with GEL and AGM (absorbed glass matt), sealed and non-sealed lead acid batteries. They should be protected from the weather and located within as near as possible to the battery bank.
