Best solar controller?

Post by kevjakeman »

I currently have a solar project underway and I am buying all the components individually.

I have everything I need apart from the controller as I am weighing a few options up first.

Does anyone have any experience with them who could advise me on any good ones?

Is this going to be connected to your home / the national network?

And I use a 'Ring' controller for my 12v battery charge.

No, it is for an off grid solar shed.

Are you able to provide a link to the controller? I can't find anything about 'Ring' controllers, it's just bringing up stuff about Ring doorbells! haha
