A Solar Charge Controller (or Regulator) is a device which protects the batteries in a solar electric system from being overcharged or being over-discharged.
Overcharged batteries have a much shorter life time than well cared for batteries since the electolyte is boiled off as gas and lost. Overly discharged (i.e. flat) lead acid batteries become permanently damaged, so a solar charge controller is used to disconnect any load when the battery is discharged down to a safe cut off voltage
