Solar Charge Controller Types for New Mexico Solar Panel Systems

Every year, our licensed technicians at Solar Biz answer numerous questions from residents and business owners looking for the best solar charge controller for their solar array and battery bank in New Mexico. Solar power is growing more popular by the year in New Mexico, with over 800 megawatts of additional capacity installed since 2018. New Mexico now ranks 16th in the Solar Energy Industries Association’s national list of states with the highest solar power capacity, creating a cleaner and more sustainable future for its inhabitants.

A solar controller regulates the currents flowing into a battery from solar panels, so they don’t overcharge and operate at reduced capacities. Some models can keep panels producing nominal voltages even through heavy cloud over, and they come with low voltage disconnect boards that cut off power when battery charges get too low.

The PWM charge controller and MPPT charge controller are two of our bestselling solar charge controller technologies.

PWM stands for Pulse Width Modulation.

Our controller models with pulse width modulation technologies help our residential customers save thousands of dollars in battery bank maintenance over their lifetimes. They allow your solar array to connect to your battery through a regulator. When your battery reaches its peak charge level, the regulator will shutter rapidly to reduce the incoming current and maintain optimal battery voltages.

A PWM solar charge controller works best with 12V rails connected to a maximum of two parallel panels.

MPPT stands for Maximum Power Point Tracking.

A solar charge controller with maximum power point tracking technology requires a higher investment than a PWM model. However, they allow your panels to charge high-capacity battery cells and power larger commercial and residential structures up to 30% more efficiently. An MPPT controller finds the best possible mix of current and voltage to create the most optimal amount of power through cloud cover and various weather conditions.
