Controller Question.....
Hi All,

I have a Go Power solar system on my travel trailer....

2-190w panels in parallel
2- group 27 (flooded) batteries
1-30A PWM controller

The controller is just a very basic model. I was thinking of upgrading it to a "smart" controller. Here are my questions:

Is there a decent smart controller out there?
Would a better controller make a difference?
Will any controller work with my system?

TIA!

Take a look at the social group for solar. Click on community and select social groups.

RVing with solar is under the uncategorized groups.

That is the exact controller that I upgraded to and I love it! Much more efficient than my old PWM controller. The bluetooth function that allows viewing the controller's operation on your phone is my favorite feature.

You have chosen wisely (Indiana Jones Last Crusade)!
