So far this Sunforce controller has met my expectations. I have been using it for about 3 weeks without any problems. I connected it to a 10 watt solar charger and it tells me that it is charging.
Not a lot to write about the charge monitor as it is all sealed and all you have to do is follow the wiring on the unit. Works good I installed it inline with a solar panel on my tent trailer.
This product works very well and the customer support was excellent. In actuality there are wires leading to battery terminal ring connectors on the load side and wires that need to be spliced to the line or solar panell side. The photos indicate that the device is connected via screw terminals located under a cover at the bottom of the device.
I installed the controller with a 15W solar panel also purchased through Amazon. As noted in other reviews, the instruction sheet for this product is lacking --- it doesn't indicate what possible combinations of LED lighting may signify. We only run lights each night for a few hours and a propane reefer. We just returned from a week long camping trip in Eastern Oregon and never once had to run the generator to top off the battery. Good price, easy installation, and it seems to do what it's supposed to. The yellow LED stays lit continuously and the red LED that should indicate a full charge never appears. It probably also helps that we simultaneously installed a deep cycle battery.So far, I'm totally satisfied with this purchase and recommend it for basic solar installations such as ours. However, the battery appears to stay fully charged.
Great item has been working now for 3 weeks with no problem. I have it connected to a 15 watt solar panel and to a 75 amp hour battery.
