The SCC can be used with any P3 Portable
Power Pack from Global Solar Energy and is
designed specifically to connect to the P3 solar
packs for continuous charging. Using the P3
solar pack and the Solar Charge Controller will
help maintain the battery in a fully charged
state. The charge light on the SCC indicates
charging. The fully charged light indicates when
charging is complete.
CHARGING FEATURES:
• GREEN light indicates battery is full
• When battery reaches
14.2V, the
SCC will cut
out thereby
ensuring no
overcharging
of the battery
• YELLOW light indicates solar
panel is
charging battery
• When battery is below 13V, the SCC will allow charging to start.
NOTE: It is normal for both lights to flicker in
and out during normal operation.
TIPS FOR USE:
• Solar Charge Controller should be placed within 5 feet of the battery and in a dry,
well ventilated area
• This Solar Charge Controller can support up to 105 watts of power. It is not
advisable to use with greater wattage
• All connections should be in parallel to ensure 12V- positive to positive, negative
to negative
SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER
APPLICATIONS/HOW TO USE
CAUTION: Ensure that you completely understand
this instruction manual before using the Solar Charge
Controller.
1. For 12V Car Battery
Application: Use SCC with P3 solar pack to
trickle charge car batteries.
Recommended use: Connect 8′ extension accessory cable to solar panel, then to the
SAE plug on the SCC marked SOLAR (Fig.1 & Fig. 2). Connect SAE plug from SCC marked BATTERY to battery clamp
accessory cable (Fig. 2). Attach red battery clamp to positive (+) car battery terminal and
black battery clamp to negative (-) car
battery terminal.

Fig. 2
WARNING: Attaching battery clamps in reverse polarity could result in shocks, burns or permanent damage to the
car battery or solar panel.
2. For cell phones and other devices
Application: To charge cell phones and other
devices
Recommended use: Connect solar panel
directly to SAE plug on the SCC marked
SOLAR (or connect to 8′ extension cable and then to SCC marked SOLAR). Connect
SAE plug from SCC marked BATTERY to
cigarette lighter adapter receptacle
accessory cable or barrel tip accessory
cable and connect to cell phone or electronic
device for charging.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Always test outdoors under optimal sunlight
conditions.
• Inspect the connections between P3 Folding Solar Power Panel and the SCC.
• Inspect all plugs, outlets, clamps, connectors and cables to ensure they are not damaged
or cut.
• If the connections are all secure, use a volt meter or 12V test light to check voltage
between the positive and negative
electrodes. This check should be done
using the 12V vehicle power plug. Open
voltage can range from 16V to 24V.
• If battery voltage is 14.2 or higher, the GREEN light should be on. If battery voltage
is between 13 and 14.2, the YELLOW light
should be on. If battery voltage is 13 or
lower, the YELLOW light should be on.
• For vehicle battery charging, check to make sure that the battery is in good condition.
Over time battery performance decreases
the battery may need to be replaced.
NOTE: Some vehicle batteries require more power
(current) than the solar power panel purchased. If
problems persist you may require a larger solar power
panel.
FAQs
How many panels can I connect to my 7
AMP SCC?
You can connect up to 105 Watts of solar
power to the SCC. Panels should be connected
in parallel – positive to positive, negative to
negative.
When will the Charging indication light
(green) light up?
The charging indication green light will light up
when the battery voltage reaches 14.2 Volts
and the SCC will prevent the solar panels from
overcharging the battery. It is normal for the
SCC charging light to flicker on and off as the
battery voltage cuts in and out.
Where do I find the accessory cables
described in the “How to Use” section?
You can purchase a five piece Accessory
Cable Kit from any Global Solar products
dealer. The kit includes a 12V vehicle power
plug, 12V vehicle power receptacle, battery
clamps, 4” barrel connector and 8’ extension
cable.
