A combination of a logical 10 moves the motor in onedirection; a combination of 01 moves the motor in the opposite direction; and a combination of00 cuts off the current to the motors (i.e. stalls the motors).B. Charging A charge controller, or charge regulator is a voltage and/or current regulator to keep batteriesfrom overcharging. It regulates the voltage and current coming from the solar panels going to thebattery. Ordinary charge controller will often work with high voltage panels if the maximuminput voltage of the charge controller is not exceeded. However, a lot of power will be lost, from20% to 60% of what your panel rating. The only way to get full power out of high voltage gridtie solar panels is to use a MPPT controller

It is more common to express the effectiveness of this conversionprocess by lighting efficacy, which is defined as the amount of light output in lumens per Watt ofelectricity consumed.In California Energy Code, which is the sixth section of the California Building Standards Code,lighting power density (LPD) is used as a metric to regulate the maximum allowable lightingenergy for each building type, or for each interior space type.
