Solar Charge Controllers & Retrofits
A solar system is incomplete without a solar charge controller if you want to ensure maximum protection for your appliances. Solar panels can suffer from heating issues over time. However, with Luminous’ range of solar charge controllers, you can ensure that doesn’t happen. Whereas, Shine Retrofits are upgraded version of charge controllers which converts the normal inverter into a solar inverter without any change in electrical wiring.

Shine Retrofits
MCB protection
Solar optimization technique
4 stage battery charging
User Friendly LCD Display
Shine Retrofit is an upgrade of the charge controller, which, when connected to any existing normal inverter, converts it into a solar inverter without any change in electrical wiring. It has inbuilt intelligence to maximise the use of solar energy to power your appliances. The shine retrofit has a solar optimisation technique, which enables minimum extraction of power from the mains. Moreover, it comes with MCB protection to ensure that the...
Solar Charge Controllers
Battery over charging protection
Reverse current flow protection
USB Port
Solar charge controllers control the current and voltage levels flowing from the solar panels to the batteries. Furthermore, these controllers also save the batteries from getting deep discharged and prevents reverse flow of current from batteries to the solar panels at night. With these solar charge controllers, the customers are also provided with a USB port, which gives the flexibility of charging the DC appliances like mobile phones dire...
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a solar charge controller?
A solar charge controller is used to charge the battery from power generated by solar panels and prevent the battery from overcharging. It is also known as a voltage or current controller as it directs the voltage and current from the solar panels to the battery and also stops the reverse flow at night.
What are various types of solar charge controller?
There are two types of solar charge controller:
- PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Charge Controller
- MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) Charge Controller
Can solar panel overcharge battery?
You can control the voltage and current coming from the solar panels that go to the battery. Most '12 volts' panels put out about 16 to 20 volts, causing battery overcharging issues if there is no regulation. It is where you need a solar charge controller.
How can you check whether our solar controller is working or not?
To check if your solar charge controller is working or not, disconnect the positive cable between the solar battery and charge controller. Measure the current by linking the positive test lead from the multimeter to the controller's positive line. The negative test leads from the multimeter are connected to the positive terminal of the solar battery.
