I thought I had bought the right product for the job I had for wt to do and when I hooked it up and it is doing what it is suppose to do and I am well pleased with yhis product and Amazon.com price

A warning to the novices out there that might purchase this unit – there is no wiring/connections included.
Once I got some wiring to hook the panel-charger-battery, the green light went on and all seems to be going well.
I’ll update this review once I see what a full day of sunlight does to the system.

The regulator performs as advertised. I use the system on a camper in the woods and leave it along for long periods of time without worring about it. It keeps my batteries charged.

I’m satisfied with this PWM PV charge controller. Compared to other charge controllers and even those of PWM or MPPT, this one has the best cost. Only around $30 compared to those that do the same and cost around in the $100′s. With PWM techonlogy, the charger is neither on or off like some of the cheaper controllers. Instead it regulates the voltage so it is constantly chargeing and then float chargers when the batteries are full. Also, because the voltage is being regulated closer to the batteries voltage. The batteries do not gas as much. A second thing with PWM controller, the batteries receive pulses of a charge, similar to a battery desulfator. So the batteries plates will not sulfate as much either. I found the charger regualtes the voltage .5V higher than the batteries readings. And float regulate around 13.3V. Controller can handle up to 10Amps (150Watts of PV power) and can control discharge through the controler at 10Amps. Which makes it good for outdoor ligthing or ponds where if the batteries become too low, the controller will automatically shut them down until the batteries are fully recharged.

Here’s why this thing rocks:
- good screw terminal connections
- connections for the solar panel, a battery, AND (this is key) a device you want to hook up TO the solar/battery system.
This last point is awesome – it provides a no-brainer way to hook up a device to a regulated / protected solar /battery system, and allows you to use the battery for power when the sun goes down or during cloudy periods – in fact, the system automatically delivers power from the battery as needed.
- Also critical is a Low Voltage Disconnect – for a solar fountain project, I first used another product without the LVD – my battery was drained completely overnight, and batteries discharged 100% can’t be recharged easily (they register as an open circuit or cause other problems). This unit takes away that worry.
- The unit has a switch on it so you can turn on/off the device you’re powering right from the unit.
The unit seems to be designed for rural electrification (i.e. remote villages in india needing electric lights at night). It has a conformal coating on the circuit board (anti-rust).
For me, I combined a 500 gph Rule bilge pump, this unit, a 30 watt 12 volt solar panel, and a cheap $35 12 volt tractor battery and I have an AWESOME solar fountain. I’m pretty psyched on this device, and just ordered 2 more.
