Half - cut solar cells 

• Solar Panels with half - cut solar cells and 9 to 12 buzz bars connecting the cells are 8-10% Smaller than typical square cell panels
• Solar Panels with half - cut solar cells and 9 to 12 buzz bars connecting the cells are 3% higher effiiency than typical square cell panels

Full silicone solar cells used to be square, sometimes with the corners cut off, but now the mainstream trend with all the big solar manufacturers is for half cut, small rectangular silicone cells, due to their higher efficiency.

 Solar panel technology has moved on considerably in the last few years with the introduction of half cut solar cells which can provide 2 to 3% more efficiency and higher watts per square metre. This means that the same power solar panels used in the past can now be 8-10% smaller. Alternatively you can have bigger solar panels with higher power output, but don't take up as much space.

This works by doubling the number of solar cells and increasing the number of ribbons, (BB's / buzz bars) which connect the silicone solar cells together within the panel. This helps to lower resistance in the panel, which in turn reduces tiny voltage drops in the many panel connections. Overall this provides more power output. The smaller cells are also less likely to have microfracture issues and with improved cloudy day performance.

1) For 12V use 36 cell solar panels , For 24V use 72 cell solar panels or 2x 36 cell in series

2) The controller switches to the lower float voltage level 2 hours after the absorption voltage has been reached. Whenever the battery voltage becomes lower than 13V, a new charge cycle is triggered.

Installation

1, make sure your battery has enough voltage for the controller to recognise the battery type before first installation.

2 the battery cable should be as short as possible to minimise loss.

3, this charge controller is only suitable for regulating solar panels. Never connect another charging source to this charge regulator.

Note:

Do not install the charge controller in a sealed enclosure where battery gases can accumulate.

These charge controllers can be used with one or more 12V batteries where additional storage capacity may be needed, or a combination of series and parallel batteries to make a 24V energy storage system.
