Solar Panel Charge Controller - 10 A
Charge controller for photovoltaic applications controlled by a microcontroller and capable of operating automatically at both 12 and 24 V.
Overview
It allows to provide the right degree of current to the batteries protecting them from an excess of discharge or charge in order to prolong their life cycle as much as possible.
Attention! use only with 12 and 24 V solar panels.
It protects the battery from polarity reversal, automatically enters protection and locks when the load current exceeds the regulator’s range. In case of short circuit, it enters protection and it overload protection.
To avoid complete battery discharge, the regulator will automatically disconnect the load at a certain voltage that cannot be less than 11.2 V for the 12 V battery and 22.4 V for the 24 V batteries.

Save the date on May 28th-30th, Arduino will be back at SPS Italia in Parma, showcasing how our open-source solutions are revolutionizing the industrial sector with high performance and accessibility. At Arduino’s booth #C020, hall 7, we’ll be presenting the latest additions to our ecosystem, designed to help companies of all sizes embrace digital transformation and the Industrial IoT. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store: Opta: the “Swiss Army knife” of industrial automation Opta is our versatile micro PLC: reliable, secure, and open-source, it avoids vendor lock-in and is the ideal choice for both newcomers and seasoned professionals. Opta can be programmed with standard IEC 61131-3 languages or within Arduino’s environment, offering unmatched flexibility. “With Opta, we aim to support companies looking for increased visibility into their processes through IoT retrofitting, breaking down barriers to industrial automation, and those that produce machinery, seeking a ready-to-use controller for IoT and edge AI. Opta offers high performance, secure connectivity, and unprecedented programming flexibility at an affordable price,” says Arduino’s CEO Fabio Violante. Opta Expansion Modules to boost your projects New expansion modules allow you to enhance Opta’s capabilities: the Arduino Pro Opta Ext D1608E, Arduino Pro Opta Ext D1608S, and Arduino Pro Opta Ext A0602 provide additional programmable inputs, relay outputs, and analog I/O options for diverse data acquisition and control needs. Live demos for a hands-on experience Explore live demonstrations of Opta and other key products from our Portenta and Nicla families. Discover how these solutions can be applied to industrial automation, remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and more! A strategic partnership with Melchioni Electronics We’re excited to collaborate with Melchioni Electronics, enhancing our reach and support for Arduino’s innovative solutions.
