Charging 300Ah Battery: Everything You Need (Solar Panel, …

If you''re using an PWM charge controller the voltage of solar panel and battery should be the same. ( eg. 12v solar panel for 12v battery and 24v solar panel to charge a 24v battery ). Otherwise you''ll experience a huge power loss. If you have different voltage solar panels and battery then use an MPPT charge controller. - MPPT charge controller

Solar Charge Controller Basics

A charge controller, or charge regulator, is basically a voltage and/or current regulator to keep batteries from overcharging. It regulates the voltage and current coming from the solar panels going to the battery. Most "12 volt" panels put out about 16 to 20 volts, so if there is no regulation the batteries will be damaged from overcharging.
