Actually I did call them. They are the ones that suggested when the panels are not in use there should be a inline switch to disconnect the positive. They agreed to not leave any possibility of power going into the controller while in storage. These refer wires are 8 gauge wired directly to the battery its hard to pass this convenience up. I will probably hook up the controller to the panels and then put the 8 gauge wires directly into the controller. If I leave the controller on the floor of the refer area it should not really get that hot. But we will see! Another option is simply splice the 8 gauge wires to the panels and put the controller on down the line. Then run separate wires for the control board on the fridge.

I am going to go pretty cheap as even considering the grape solar 150 watt for 209.00. These will get very little use. Maybe down the road when we have more time I may get more serious. Just want to try this out, I am a generator guy now as I always have my 3000 honda eu with. But solar is really really getting reasonable these days. Even for very little use.
