   1st 1 worked well for 2 years but lost the screen view lcd, & it does not light up which would be huge, (IT’S INSTALLED IN A DARK PLACE AM I RIGHT?) in any case got the replacement & 6 months in no problems. Easy nice large gauge connector slots, full set of parameters for manual settings lovers, a bit confusing on set up, use youtube for the Rich solar controller reviews & set up because the manual is quit poor. Also put a larger fuse in the battery connector wire I have a 30a to cover the bursts of sun energy you get coming out of clouds, this has permanently fixed fuse blow. My set up> 2 PQ 100amp LiFePO, 2 newpowa 100w solar 1 portable Rich 100w hard panel, 11DX,18 ft Alpenlite cab over Camper. GREAT EASY SET UP PLENTY OF POWER. I am full time off grid.

   Used for the better part of a year on a daily basis in our camper with 600 watts of pv, charges computers, tablets, phones, a small swamp cooler, 12 volt chest cooler, 42 inch tv and small soundbar a few hours a night, 4 low voltage lamps, a coffee grinder, a mid size fan running all night in the bedroom, and occasionally an 800 watt hair dryer. I’ve messed up the wiring between panels and controllers more often than I should and left it out in gentle rain several times. Just keeps going… wouldn’ hesitate to recommend to others. Hope yours works as well.

   I want to buy a new solar charge controller for my RV. I did some research on the internet and found this unit offered by a new company in Irvine on tugapower.net. It has the same specs as the Renogy Rover unit, but it costs $50 less. Installation was a breeze. There is an additional cable that connects to the temperature sensor, which is convenient. I took it for a 3-day trip in the desert. The unit is working well from day 1 and it seems to have good conversion efficiency (it claims 99%). It is worth the while to pay a bit more for a MPPT charger than a regular PV charger. This controller seems to work very well so far. I may buy another one for my backyard system. Good product!

   This compact unit is easy to hook up and easy to use.

   This is a great performing unit. It was easy to install and hook up my 300 watt solar panel to the boat batteries. My only issue is that the manual doesn’t do a good job of leading you through the various display options. But, after you’ve scrolled through it becomes sort of obvious. It does operate in true MPPT fashion (some other low cost units have been found not to). The quality seems high also.

   The Rich Solar mppt controller is an exact clone of the Renogy, but less money.

   Works perfectly.

   For a small solar array, this is a good unit, terminals are great for connections, Easy to program, chargers battery’s just like they need to be charged.

   I have been using my unit for 4 days now. I have an error message (E15) and their manual only lists to E13!!

   I have tries to call multiple times, I emailed, I tried their live chat, no one is answering and I am left with no power!! This is not the headache, or the product, you want. Trust me!

   Product charges battery very well. Shows percent battery is charged also. Charges in ‘smart stages’. Product was smart enough to know that i could not charge 2 12 volt (24volts) batteries w 1 solar panel because its not efficient. I can only charge 1 at a time. 2 panels needed for 24 volts.
   Lots of displays like amps from panel, % battery full, errors. Plz remember to use fuses. Always connect battery then solar panel
   the only problem was…. after several months of use, the controller was throwing error 02, battery overcharged. after many hours of thinking it was the solar panel, I finally realized the controller was incorrectly telling me the battery was overcharged when it wasn’t. maybe this happened when I hooked up the battery to the controller. solution to fix was easy… just unplug the unit from the battery and replug it in again. followup: unit lasted 4 years and wouldn’t work, but for 79.00 and in the heat of louisiana, I guess I can’t complain, so I’m buying another.
