not sure why anyone would buy that model to start with 10amp PWM. I ended up with the 30amp MPPT Renogy Rover. so far very happy with it and it got better reviews that a lot of controlers twice the price. for my pannal I went with a 325 watt 120 split cell 24v Canadian solar and am amazed how much it actualy gives me. but I will be adding 1 more if I can figure out where to put it.... no real roof on my camper so mounting is a little bit of a challange.....
