Questions & Answers
I have 9 300W solar panels with 36 v and 8 A each. I want to used them form a submersible water pump to fill my water tank for farming. Do your MPPT are good for this type of use? If yes, which one do you recommend? I don’t intend to use battery.
Hello Kalinko. Thank you for your inquiry. Our MPPT charge controllers are designed to work with solar panels and require a battery bank to function properly. They are not recommended for direct connection to a submersible water pump without a battery, as this can cause power instability and potential equipment damage. For your setup of 9 x 300W panels (36V, 8A each), we recommend using a solar pump inverter or a dedicated solar pump controller if you do not plan to use batteries. These are specifically designed for direct solar-to-pump applications. If you’re open to including a battery bank, we’d be happy to help recommend the right MPPT controller and system configuration. To contact us, please visit https://www.renogy.com/contact-us or call us at 909-287-7111 during our operating hours, Monday through Friday from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm PT.

I currently have 5-100 watt panels connected to a 40 amp PWM controller 12V off grid system. I want to upgrade my system to a MPPT controller and 3-300ah LiFe phosphate batteries. What size controller would you rec. What are your thoughts with this.
Good day, John! Thank you for reaching out to us! As for this question, if you are planning to us your solar panels in series then it is better to go with the Rover 60a MPPT Charge controller, if you are going to connect your solar panels in parallel then you can use the Rover 40a MPPT Charge controller. I hope this answers your question!
I have eight(8) -12v batteries, size 4D, each with 1314 cranking amps & 390 reserve capacity that are hooked up in series & parallel (48 volts). My question is: Under Nominal battery capacity in the parameter settings what should this number be?
Hi RekTck, Thank you for sending your inquiry. We do not have this information. It's a value that describes the capacity of the battery and in deep-cycle batteries it is usually in Amp Hours (Ah). We recommend that you may need to ask the manufacturers of the batteries for these values. Also, please be note that our charge controllers are only compatible with sealed lead-acid, flooded, gel or lithium batteries which MUST be deep cycle. Hope it helps.
Hi, what would the connections for "Load(optional)" be used for? Also what would it rated for(amps/watts). The way I read the wiring diagram the batteries should get connected to inverter , would these get connected to inverter under certain conditions?
Hi DK3170, Thank you for sending your inquiry and interest in our products. In the load terminal, you can connect any12v or DC appliances in Rover's case any load that does not exceed 20 amps. Even our Rover 60Amp. Also, the charge controller requires to be connected to a battery bank which an inverter is required if we will consume the charge from the battery. For further concerns, you can respond to this email or you can give us a call at (909) 287-7100. We're open Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 3 pm PST.
Hi I’m doing project of solar panle and need your help please. I currntly have 6 LG panels 365w each 40v and 9amp each and i want you to help me choosing the right mppt and which is the right way to wire the panels to the mppt also your opinion of which battery bank size 24v or 36v thank you so much
Hello Faz, We would recommend considering our Renogy 100-amp Rover charge controller as it can accept up to 2,600-watts when maintaining a 24-volt battery bank Or 3,900-watts at 36-volts D/C. The battery bank voltage would be determined by your electrical loads and your inverter. Please contact us if you have any other questions, have a wonderful day.
If I buy & hook up the 300 watt 24v solar panel to this controller - will it convert the 24v coming in from panel to 12v output to charge 12v batteries - I currently have 3 - 12v Marine deep cycle batteries and a 12v -1500W inverter ? Or must i stay with 12v panels that you have available ? The inverter I have is rated for 12v input only ? I am planning on adding more batteries as needed - and a better inverter for higher voltage at a later date - and of course more panels .
I have a Solor panel I bought from you online (its the one for opening a farm gate) it has a plug one the cord and I was wondering if they make a storage battery with plugs
Hello and thank you for reaching out. Yes, the Rover 60 amp controller's designed to handle 800 watts with a 12 volt battery bank. This charge controller will take the excess voltage coming from the 300 watt/24 volt panel and convert it to amperage. As for your inverter, as long as you do not exceed the max rated voltage of your Inverter (12 volts) , it wil be fine. Please note that we have specifications of this charge controller(Rover Li 60 amp) on our Renogy website. Feel free to ask us anymore questions.
