Reliable controller
Have been using this 30a controller w two 100w panels for more than a year in my RV. Well built and provides accurate readings. The horizontal buttons that toggle adjustments doesn’t seem particularly useful for most users, so I don’t bother. But otherwise I am happy with this purchase.

The instructions for attaching the cables aren’t clear
The instructions for attaching the cables to the “Renogy Rover MPPT Solar Charge Controller” aren’t described verbally or aren’t clear in the box.“FIRST lower each terminal hatch by screwing the terminals counterclockwise” see the “User Guide (PDF)” which is below the “Product guides and documents” at the "Renogy 100 Watts 12 Volts Monocrystalline Solar Starter Kit". The “User Guide (PDF)” doesn’t come with the “Renogy Rover MPPT Solar Charge Controller”.I think the “Renogy Rover MPPT Solar Charge Controller” is better than the “Renogy wanderer”. Look at the “User Manual (PDF)” for the “Renogy Rover MPPT Solar Charge Controller” to compare it with the “Renogy wanderer”.The “Renogy Rover MPPT Solar Charge Controller” probably isn’t designed to charge a "Pinty Portable Uninterrupted Power Supply 500W".The “Renogy Rover MPPT Solar Charge Controller” works alright with a “CHINS 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery” when the battery type is set to USE and when the charging voltages are set to 14.6. Four 100 Watt Solar panels should be used with a “CHINS 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery” is what I was told.I had to temporarily connect a 12 V A23 battery to the battery side of the Renogy wanderer and Rover before they would start charging the Pinty (the Pinty has 0 V at its solar charging port). I added a zener diode (in series) to the A23 battery to prevent reverse current (when the solar panel was connected to the wanderer).The "Renogy 100 Watts 12 Volts Monocrystalline Solar panel” produced about 73 watts according to the “Renogy Rover MPPT Solar Charge Controller”. The solar uv index was about 6.2 when the 73 watts was measured. Attached is a screenshot of “DC Home” APP paired with a “BT-1” and a “Renogy Rover 30 Amp MPPT Solar Charge Controller”. Maybe a “Renogy Rover 20 Amp MPPT Solar Charge Controller” would be enough for four Renogy 100 Watt Solar panels.

Work as advertised
I already had a Rover 20Amp and wanted a larger charge controller to add to the system. I am now running Both the 20Amp & 30 Amp in Parallel for a total of 50Amp total charge power. I currently have a 400Ah Battery bank that it chargers and a 2k DC/AC Inverter t complete my system in my RV Travel Trailer. As you can see in the provided photos the inverter registers OK with an OK Checker. Most China made inverters show and open ground which I consider dangerous. Very Happy with these purchases ALL From Amazon. 110% Recommend...

Finally a decent MPPT controller
I have gone through 3 different MPPT controllers and this is the first to actually do everything it stated. Installation couldn't have been easier. I like the mounting brackets, they make mounting way easy. The controls although not all that obvious are easy to get used to. A straight right pointing arrow does not scream "Enter". Setting up the battery type and the load mode was super simple. So far so good. If things change I will edit. (NOTE: The Tech Support and Weather proof, I cannot comment on as I have not used the support or had "Weather" issue that would effect the controller)I had an opportunity to reach out the Tech support/customer service. I was attempting to register my warranty, However when I hit submit I was informed that the SKU/Product number was not found. I went thru the list and sure enough it was not there. According to support, I did not need to register my warranty since I bought it from Amazon and that I should just keep the Amazon information.

This is bad
It's not good This product does not work as advertised as i hooked it up and the controller wouldn't show accurate stats on the app and that's because you need two other renogy product besides this one to use the app the renogy Bluetooth device and the renogy shunt is needed in order to even get a reading but then even with all this the app doesn't provide accurate or enough data it keeps jumping around poor product all around

you have a warranty if you can get it registered
the products seem to work properly but it is very hard to get them registered for the warranty. i bought a 2 panel solar kit, a larger controller and then 2 more solar panels. I've called but its eternal hold. i tried the on site ai which is no help at all. but i will keep trying.

Functionality.
I already have this charge controller, but wanted to add another solar array to add more amps to my system. So now I'm running 2 30amp charge controllers on my battery bank. I like the menu I can go through the setting with ease. I don't need an app or a phone to sett this up.

Good Conversion Efficiency
I purchased the 30A model to use with eight, 60-watt 24V monocrystalline panels for my RV. To make up for the daily drain from the 600 AH lead battery bank. I did carefully read customer reviews and the products specifications and I was not disappointed with my purchase or the performance of this charge controller. I cannot split hairs over this controller when there are voltage drops and voltage variations in every part of my DC system. The controller measures solar input and considering a 10-percent conversion loss (heat) or less, the DC charging current falls inline with the solar input current. All I care about is maximizing DC charging current and the USER settings allow that. I find the BT module and app work well for me adhering to the distance limitation of the BT module that is about the same distance as the lead attached to it. Once BT communications are lost due to distance, they must be reestablished.
