Display for PWM Controller?
After years of thinking about it, I’m about to get a solar setup. I live 5 minutes from SolarBlvd in Norco, so I will get most the stuff from them. The plan is to use the 140w Solar Cynergy panel (...

All - Thanks to all for the responses. For now, I'll forgo an extra display and just monitor the setup via the voltage meter.
OK, what do I look for in mounts for a fiberglass RV roof?
I found the datasheet on the Morningstar support page. It says "Charging stages: Bulk, absorption, float, equalize" Sounds like a Bulk, plus 3 stage controller.
"Regulation Voltage" is listed at 14.4v for flooded cell batteries, I'm guessing this is bulk voltage.
I suppose all I care about is" 1) is bulk high enough to fully charge the batteries, and 2) does the float stage kicks in properly and prevent overcharging when it sits in storage in the summer sun.
