Another thing about converters with temp comp that came out of the Paramode experience, is that if the converter is inside the warm rig and the batts outside in the cold, as is common, then you must have that temp comp on a wire going to the outside.
The issue is finding a route for that wire. Not easy at all in many rig's. Was hopeless in our 5er.
As it happens, the converter was deck-mounted out near the batteries so no problem with wire routing. Paramode does offer an in-place replacement for the older type 7300 converters, though which would have to have that wire routed to the outside somehow.
I notice many solar controllers have an ambient temp sensor on the controller itself. (some do have wires for remote to elsewhere) If the solar controller is near the batts and so outside the rig's heated area, no problem. But some get mounted inside the heated area.
