Applications

Solar charge controllers like the Global Solar 60012 are a standard part of any off-grid or portable 12V solar charging system. They sit between the solar panel and the battery, preventing the panel from pushing too much current into a full battery (overcharge) and cutting the load before the battery drops too low (over-discharge) — both of which can permanently damage lead-acid batteries. This controller is sized for small portable solar setups: recreational vehicles, camping, marine batteries, remote sensor power, and small 12V backup power installations. It is a natural match for compact portable solar panels in the 20–100W range, including Global Solar's own flexible CIGS panels. The simple DC connector leads make it easy to integrate into portable systems without soldering or panel wiring.
