Morningstar SunSaver SS-6-12V Charge Controller Review
SunSaver solar charge controllers represent the industry standard in PWM battery charging technology, with over 1.5 million units deployed worldwide since 1996 maintaining an exceptional <0.1% failure rate. Unlike basic on/off regulators, this advanced controller employs precise 4-stage PWM charging with automatic temperature compensation to maximize battery life in both sealed and flooded configurations. The solid-state MOSFET design eliminates mechanical relay failures while delivering consistent 6-amp charging capacity for 12V off-grid solar systems up to 30V panel input, making it ideal for residential solar installations, RV applications, and remote monitoring equipment. Manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility using automated precision assembly processes, each controller undergoes 100% pre-shipment testing and comes factory pre-configured for immediate installation.
