THANK YOU all for saving me much research. A Genesun controller it will be. Now I need to figure out if the companionway is the way to go...

From: cnc-list@cnc-list.com CC: dainyr...@icloud.com I agree completely with the benefit of Genusun controllers. I have 3 GV-10's. Also, Fred is absolutely correct about the very high voltage produces by solar panels.

They make a 5 amp model that will fill the bill. Genasun uses all ceramic capacitors which are more reliable, especially in harsh environments. The Genasun is a true MPPT controller and allows charging to continue taking place even in partial shade, where other controllers cut off. You'll get more charging out of the panel that with either a lesser controller or no controller. Worth every penny. I did a LOT of research. :-) http://genasun.com/all-products/solar-charge-controllers/for-lead/gv-5-pb-5a-solar-charge-controller/ Bill Bina On 5/24/2016 10:48 AM, David via CnC-List wrote: Just to verify, it seems at 50 watts and a 400 amp battery capacity, I will not need a controller. Or is t prudent to have one anyway... David F. Risch 1981 40-2 (401) 419-4650 (cell) _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
