Description

Morningstar 12Volt 6Amp DC Solar Controller -- SHS6

Morningstar 12Volt 6Amp DC Solar Controller

Morningstar's well-known high-quality and reliability is now available in a low cost solar controller. The SHS6 12V DC 6A Controller is ideal for rural electrification systems with one to three solar panels.

  

Benefits of a Solar Controller

Reduces Cost of Battery Replacements

  • The low voltage disconnect will increase battery life. The loads are automatically disconnected when the battery is low and automatically reconnected after the battery is recharged.
  • Complete charging will increase battery life and storage capacity. The controller will maximize the amount of solar energy into the battery and avoid drying out the battery.

Provides Useful Information

  • Provides Useful Information - The SHS controller has four LED's that indicate solar charging, high to low battery status, low voltage warning and any mistakes. We do not use multi-colored LED's which oftentimes are confusing.

Advantage of The SHS Controller

  • Low Cost - The SHS was specifically designed to meet the needs of the rural electrification market. The low cost resulted from using the latest electronic technology and high volume manufacturing.
  • High Reliability - Morningstar is a world-leading supplier of solar charge controllers. All our controllers are designed for high quality and high reliability. The SHS controller has a low failure rate and will last a long time.
  • Electronic Protections - The SHS has built-in electronic fuses that do not require replacement. Any wiring mistakes during installation will not damage the controller.
  • Tropicalization - The SHS electronics are protected with a moisture-tight coating, minimizing damage from humidity and from nesting insects.
  • Easy to Use - The SHS controller is fully automatic and requires no adjustments or user selections.
  • Better Battery Charging - The SHS is a series PWM controller with 4 stages: Bulk, PWM, Boost and Float. The battery charging is temperature compensated. We do not design shunt controllers which may cause overheating of the electronics.
  • High Quality Automated Production - All Morningstar controllers including the SHS are produced in an ISO 9000 certified factory. The SHS uses surface mount technology (SMT) electronics and 100% automated functional testing to ensure consistent quality.
  • Meets Testing Standards - The SHS controller is certified to comply with CE and World Bank specifications.
