Ordered this because my last MPPT controller didn't have a "load" stage. I have some small USB devices that need to be run off solar and I find that it's super easy if you can just run them off the load terminals of your controller instead of having to connect them directly to your battery (converting the voltage in either case).This comes out of the box ready with a LiFePo4 profile already configured and easily selectable in the menu. Which is perfect for me. I was up and running in about 10 minutes and most of that was dealing with the stubborn terminal screws on my old controller.That raises another good point, these are the largest and easiest to work with screw terminals I've seen on an MPPT unit as well. Easily took the 10Ga wires I am using (even though they are stranded and uncrimped) which was a struggle for both of my former lab units.Overall, a very solid unit. Assuming it keeps chugging along nicely, I'll probably pickup the Bluetooth adapter for this as well.

This review is for the Renogy Charge Controller-Rover 20A MPPT.I wanted a relatively good MPPT solar controller for a small PV project that could handle a 200w PV panel, and a 100A LiFePo4 battery at a remote shed. This is not yet in the final installation, and will not be for approx. two more weeks, but I wanted to get this review in. Before I ever put equipment in the field, I always set up a test bed situation. I pulled out the PV panel, the controller, and the battery, and set them up in the backyard for a test.RTFM! You will be working with significant amperages, and you can fry equipment very easily, and could injure yourself as well. The manual has a nice, BASIC explanation of MPPT charging and how it is used in battery maintenance. RTFM before you start mucking about with this. ALWAYS attach the battery cables before you attach the PV panels. Pay attention to the battery chemistry setting, at the very least, or you could ruin a good Lithium battery.The manual is well written, and explains the features of the controller in enough detail to get you started. Since my PV panel has MC4 connectors, I cobbled up a MC4 pigtail, and just because I like things neat, installed a ferrule on the bare end. That allows for a firm connection. I also used ferrules on the LED lighting leads and the battery leads. Everything screwed down firmly. Everything went into a 18” x 18” hard plastic container with multiple cutouts for ventilation. The cutouts were then covered in aluminum screen to keep out the bees and wasps that tend to find places to nest.I did not test the temperature probe, and will probably not use it in this application. The mounting brackets that were included in the kit worked well to suspend the controller inside the box. Pay attention to proper ventilation with the heat sink fins on the back. This WILL generate heat when in operation, and you must make allowances for that.Everything worked well, and the MPPT controller manual says it has a 92-95% efficiency rate. It charged the lithium battery at a rate that I expected. To test the systerm, I loaded the battery with approx. 50w of LED lights for approx. 9 hrs. at night. The next day, the PV panel and the battery were charged as expected after most of the day in the full sun.This is a nice MPPT controller for small PV systems. Well worth the cost if you wanted a small project controller.
