The panel, charge controller and cables are working great. Temporary install but the panel is putting out 13.9 volts, the amperage is not quite up to where it should be. This is a temporary location and the angle is not correct but wanted to test it before I put it in a permanent location and angle.

Great kit solid quality, I use it on a pole shed to power 12 volt lighting works great. It charges a deep cycle battery that powers the lights, I have power inverter that I haven’t tied in yet, but that will happen soon as well. Great system only downside is it should come with the mounting kit. The attached photo is two 10 watt LEDS powered off the battery the panel charges daily.

• 5 stars: solar panel
• 4 stars for the controller. Battery temperature is in Celsius (useless) instead of Fahrenheit with no option to change it. Battery level in controller does not match battery level when using a separate battery level indicator.
• 5 stars for the directions to connect the solar panel to the controller and 12V deep-cycle battery.
• 0 stars for no explanation of controller settings and their meanings.
I had to email and call tech support to help me with several issues. Unfortunately, because of the Oregon governor’s orders, tech support was working from home with no phone calls. Gentleman from tech support was very patient and helpful by email, but it took more than a week to resolve some issues.
The directions did not match what tech support said about when the USB port could be used.

I’m sure it will work just fine after all this snow melts and I can put it up.
