[QUOTE="user 7268, post: 436284, member: 7268"] Not sure on the sexy but certainly quality :Y: Basically have one panel on vehicle roof that's run thru a DCDC unit and use this controller to connect other panels to either camper or AGM battery in vehicle if fixed panel on vehicle is not keeping up with demand. Basically it replaces the cheap / useless controllers that most of the cheaper panels come with. Running a couple of fridges along with water pump and lights etc in camper. You really need to set up depending on the needs of what you plan to do ? One or two nights, then almost anything will suffice, but camped up for weeks on end becomes a whole different scenario. Many things come into account, as an example the power required for running an 80 litre fridge in Vic winter with ambient temps of 15 C is far different to what's needed for running the same in FNQ at temps over 40 c Just as OP has said PWM - MPPT not really the big issue as long as it's a quality controller that is working as it should be will do the job.
