Solar30 controller question
I've been reviewing the archives. So the Solar30 is adjustable for charging voltage. From BFL13's posts, I think what I get is that it is a taper charger, and they take liberties with the term "floa...

Yes, the solar30 has one settable float voltage.

"RE: solar30 PWM Questions
The Solar30 adjustable voltage is for both Absorption and Float--it is the same voltage. The batts get up to that and then stay there till dark. Simple! If you want to drop in voltage at some point before dark you have to do it manually at the time and then put it back up for morning. You might find the set voltage is out by a couple points. ( The displayed voltage is probably correct--not the same thing), but when you set 14.8 it might go up to 15.1 and settle there. On mine, to get 14.8 Vabs I set it at 14.3. This is good for me because the setting only goes up to 15.0, but that makes 15.5 on mine --equalize voltage area :) "
