Digital Controller
- The digital controller is
located near the top center of the SolarBee.
The digital controller can be easily accessed
by opening the PV module gate directly
above and in front of it. The digital controller
is constructed with a NEMA 4X (IP 66)
Enclosure.
All solar energy collection and motor operation
are managed by the digital controller. This
component has two primary functions: (1) To
direct and divide the power being collected by
the PV modules between the brushless motor
and battery. (2) To serve as the main control
center that operates the brushless motor.
There are 3 PV module connections located
on the front face of the digital controller. If
the onshore power accessory was purchase,
a connection will be located on the right side
face. The onshore connection is used only
in applications where onshore grid power is
desired.
The left side face of the digital controller
contains the brushless motor connection,
battery connection, and On/Off switch. The
On/Off switch activates power to the motor.
When the switch is turned to the Off position,
the motor will not operate. The charging
function of the controller will continue to
charge the battery even when the switch is
turned off.
