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?

I just checked with Renogy about adding a 50 watt panel like the one in my suitcase kit. They said the kit is designed for those panels and controller and they don't recommend going over 80% of controller amps. So the 10 amp controller should not exceed 8 amps. With 3 50 watt panels at 2.7 amps you get 8.1 amps max.
So if I want to add a 50 watt panel like those in my suitcase kit, do I buy just the panel and wire it up to the existing controller, buy a 20 amp controller like the one I have and wire them together or buy a panel with a controller ands not wire them together?
I think a 20/30 amp controller to replace the 10 amp is the best solution. The 30 amp Solar30 for $30 would be my choice. But it is a close call as you are barely over the recommendation.
