Cheap controllers are a hazard and a disappointment
Mppt is a waste of money until u reach 1000watts or want to go to 24v or higher panels to neck down to 12v
Wiring is just as important go huge 0 gauge or bigger
Read bob is the solar guy everything he said is 100 percent correct
Make sure u get the remote temp sensor all controllers should come with one
Again wiring and the controller are the most important part of the solar system
Rarely if ever do I need to start the geneie only use it boondocking for ac and the microwave. I've disabled my converter don't need it anymore
