        I have 4 x 100w Solar Panels = 400w. I have 2 x Renogy 200ah Batteries + 500w Inverter. Will this controller work? and how many watts can I have for an inverter? can I upgrade my inverter to 1000w or 2000w? can I run two diff inverters at the same time?

            What is the difference between this item and the Model # CTRL-RVRPG20? I see this is negative ground, while the other is positive ground and cheaper. Why care about the ground?
            ByMay 25, 2020
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hello, Positive ground refers to the terminals of the charge controller and how they are bonded together. You may use a positive ground charge controller in the same way a negative ground controller is used except for grounding the charge controller or connecting any loads with a negative ground. Please contact us if you have any other questions, have a wonderful day.

                  Renogy Power Controller with Bluetooth
                  I purchased the 20AMP Renogy version with the bluetooth module. My ONLY problem with the module or in this case really its design is that the signal strength does not penetrate walls well.. so to be any real use (the 25-meter distance supported).. really is not lived up to. My window to outside mounted BT-1 might be 25feet max away, but it still has problems syncing up .. and normally I have to move to a room that has a window that is 10feet from the BT-1 .. rather exasperating . OTHERWISE the 'older' app connects and work pretty well .. thought still a bit archaic as apps go. I will give them great credit as I am using a tablet .. versus a cellphone .. and my tablet is NOT supported by the newest app.. so.. I guess I get what i deserve.. :-)

                    Big improvement over our previous system
                    The product is working very well. It was difficult to select the battery type because the print on the screen is so small. Also, the directions were not clear regarding setting the load parameters. It took some trial and error to get it right.

                      Dependable solar charger
                      This has been running on my camper for over a month with a 230W solar panel. Keeps battery charged without overcharging. When I killed the battery overnight (<6V in the morning) it brought the battery back to life the next day, no issues. I specifically got this model since I plan on switching to Lithium batteries eventually and this controller will handle that transition with a few button pushes. Installation and setup was easy.
