General RV Solar Questions?
I'm planning to add a couple of new high end Kyocera 140 panels and build up a new system out of them. Currenly I have what my old 95' Squire 400 came with which is a substandard and smaller panel wi...

ASC controllers are very simple thus reliable, though basic and of a single stage PWM type. To start (what I have done), you could enhance your present ASC system by adding a in-line shunt in the ASC's output which will allow taps for a separate digital amp meter.
Future expansion could be made with a parallel solar system (with dedicated controller), inverter, and if you like, add another 500amp shunt in the Batts neg cable for a stand alone smart meter like a Trimetric or Xantrex LinkLite...In this way, you'll see what either system is harvesting real-time (separately or combined), and total amps both in & out of the Batts...
