Recommendations for Solar Panel and Controller
I'm thinking about upgrading my older
solar panels
and controller on my 35' sailboat, (2 - 80 Watt MBF80
Solar Panels
, Xantrex C12 12 amp
Solar
Charge Controller), and I'm curious if folks here recommend any specific brands today.
Thanks..
Jason

Re: Recommendations for Solar Panel and Controller
I have just installed 2 250w
Kyocera
panels
and a Blue Sky MMPT
regulator
for each and it works great!
I'm no expert, just my 2 cents worth.
