1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A solar controller, also known as a charge controller or regulator, is a device that regulates the ow of electrical current from a solar panel to a bat-
tery or other load. Solar Controller is an essential component of your photovoltaic solar system. The Controller maintains the life of the battery by
protecting it from overcharging. When your battery has reached a 100% state of charge, the Controller prevents overcharging by limiting the current
owing into the batteries from your solar panels.
The GP-SB-PWM solar charge controller uses PWM technology and comes in two models: 10A and 30A for 12V systems. Each model features an LCD
user interface that displays various data and enables settings adjustment. This second version of the product comes with major changes such as a
new mechanical and LCD design. The 30A version also comes with an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy module that allows all the data and settings
to be accessible and managed via a mobile app.
The GP-SB-PWM solar controller is intended for use at 12 VDC nominal system voltage and is rated for a maximum continuous DC input current of
10A and 30A respectively. The voltage and current ratings of all equipment connected to PV panels must be capable of accepting the voltage and
current levels available from PV panels installed in the eld.
The GP-SB-PWM is suitable for use with lead acid batteries (ooded, GEL, or AGM type) as well as some lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries
that are supplied with a Battery Management System (BMS).

Mandatory Action:
Connections are Tightened
This symbol indicates a prohibited action. The specic prohibited action is often
indicated by this symbol. Never attempt the prohibited action.
Mandatory Action:
Remove Connection
Prior to installing the controller, remove all connections between the controller
and the battery or PV array, or disconnect the appropriate fuses/breakers.
Warning:
