It automatically recognises 12V or 24V battery systems and employs efficient Series PWM charging to enhance battery longevity and overall system performance. Its unique dual battery charging function is particularly beneficial for applications requiring power to two separate battery banks, such as leisure and starter batteries in a motorhome. The controller intelligently manages the charging process, ensuring the primary battery receives sufficient charge before distributing power to the secondary battery, ultimately preventing overcharging and reverse current drain. Typical Applications Application Description Campervans & Motorhomes Provides continuous power for leisure batteries, lighting, and small appliances during travel and stationary use. Marine Vessels Ideal for boats and yachts to keep service batteries charged for navigation, communication, and onboard electronics. Off-Grid Cabins & Sheds Powers lighting, small tools, and other DC loads in remote structures without mains electricity. Remote Monitoring & Signage Suitable for powering electric fences, gates, pond pumps, and illuminated street signage where grid power is unavailable. Built-In Protection Functions The Solar Technology STCC10 charge controller incorporates comprehensive self-diagnostics and electronic protection features to safeguard your system against common faults and installation errors. These include: Reverse Current Protection • Overload Protection • Open Circuit Protection • Lightning Surge Protection • Deep Discharge Protection • Charge Current Protection up to 10A. Common Questions What is included in this kit? The kit comprises a Solar Technology STP060 60W rigid solar panel, a Solar Technology STCC10 10A dual battery charge controller, and a universal fitting kit with alloy L-brackets and fixing screws. Can this kit charge both my leisure and starter batteries? Yes, the included STCC10 10A Dual Battery Charge Controller is specifically designed to charge two separate 12V or 24V battery banks simultaneously, making it ideal for vehicles with both leisure and starter batteries. What type of adhesive is recommended for the fitting kit? The universal fitting kit is designed to be bonded to the roof using a suitable adhesive such as SIKA Flex 252 or similar, which is widely recommended for secure solar panel installations on motorhomes and boats. Is a charge controller necessary for a 60W solar panel? Yes, a charge controller is essential for solar panels of 20W and above. It protects your battery from overcharging and prevents reverse current drain, ensuring optimal battery health and system efficiency. Installation Notes The universal fitting kit includes alloy L-brackets and screws for securing the panel frame. For roof mounting, the L-brackets are designed to be bonded to the surface using a high-strength adhesive like SIKA Flex 252 (not included). Ensure surfaces are clean and properly prepared for optimal adhesion. Wiring should be carried out by a competent person, following all relevant electrical safety guidelines and manufacturer instructions. Ensure correct polarity when connecting the solar panel to the charge controller and the charge controller to the batteries to prevent damage. Position the solar panel in an unshaded area to maximise sunlight exposure and energy generation. Before You Buy Assess Your Power Needs: Determine the total wattage and amp-hours required by your appliances to ensure the 60W panel meets your daily energy consumption. Check Battery Compatibility: The STCC10 controller is compatible with 12V and 24V battery systems. Verify your battery type and voltage before purchase. Consider Installation Surface: The universal fitting kit is designed for flat surfaces. Ensure your intended mounting location is suitable. Additional Components: This kit provides the core components. You may require additional wiring, fuses, and a suitable adhesive (e.g., SIKA Flex 252) for a complete installation. Always verify product specifications and compatibility with your existing system before purchase. All technical data is based on manufacturer specifications and may be subject to change.
