Text version of the page

Connecting an additional solar panel The SCR 12 Marine can also be used for charge regulation of an additional solar panel ( See diagram below). The solar panel´s peak power output must not exceed 150 Watts. In order to prevent current flowing from the wind turbine to the solar panel, an extra blocking diode (Schottky diode) must be wired into the positive line of the solar panel. The blocking diode´s current rating must match with the solar panel´s maximum output. A ready-to-install blocking diode ( max. current 15 A / max. voltage 45 V ) can be ordered with superwind GmbH ( part no.: 0300.16.00.00) September 2007 5
