so after 1 year using my solar my outcome is a little less than expected. I have 2 100W panels mounted on front slope of roof, and 1 additional panel mounded flat on roof behind the DS panel that i...

I use the ecoworthy for my one 280 watt panel... Its only 20 amps but it works fine for me..
Voltages can be set bulk up to 15.3.. I use 14.7 for my batts.
It dont have absorption stage. Goes right to float. I have that set for 13.8 for my batts.. But float can be adjusted up to 14.5 volts..
What I do, if the bulk stage lasts 3 hours, then goes to float. I will turn the float voltage up to 14.5 and charge at that rate for 3 hours.. I then adjust down to the 13.7 float voltage..
Its a manual process of doing an absorption stage..
But I am cheap and $92 bucks it works well and satisfies my needs of boon docking..
Accepts voltages up to 50 volts..
I only got this one because I could change the parameters right from the unit itself..
My panel is like 38 volts...
