Solar Kit
Just received my kit. 2 100w panels with a 30a pwm controller. Hoping it will recharge my 2 GC2's. I am alone in the trailer and power use is min. Any thoughts?

That unit will lead you to believe that you need to buy more solar panels to get more charging amps to your battery, when it's the charge controller that's really messing up with your charging efficiency from your existing solar panel set up.
No it does not, it's providing enough current to keep the batt ~14.8 (what is supposed to do), more current and the battery voltage will rise, just like when I direct connect. Oscilloscope needed to capture the PWM frequency and duty cycle.
<5% C20 charge rate and the batt is ~95% charged @ 14.8v, till then the amps are steady with constant irradiance.
