    The heart of a SOLAR POWER Plant is the C30A Charge-Controller.

    The flow diagram with all components of the SOLAR System at K4ABT.

    The C30A, PV charge controller combines intelligent charge control with easy to understand battery status to provide maximum charge level and long battery life; The C30A includes spike and surge protection. The controller also features a LED charging indicator.
