Solar Charge Regulator / Energy Management Controller
The Steca PR Night is a solar lighting controller (up to 300 Wp) for automatic lighting control in various applications such as PV powered street lights, bus shelters or billboard lighting. The controller detects day and night using the PV array. An entirely new feature is the integrated clock that sets itself automatically based on the levels of brightness detected during a 24 hour day.
There are two major options:
- the light switches on after sunset
- the light switches on before sunrise
Housing is supplied prewired to connect directly into QWS wiring harnesses and houses a sealed 10A system fuse and a magnetic test point.
Solar Charge Controller in IP rated waterproof enclosure
Specifically designed to provide easy installation into QWS solar lighting systems and provide additional protection from the elements.
