I replaced a less-expensive solar charger with this one. In the cheap unit the float charge voltage stayed over 14 volts with no way to adjust it.
I am using this charger in my RV with four 180 watt 12 vdc panels, charging four 175 amp/hour deep cycle AGM batteries.
The installation instructions were clear and easy to follow. After monitoring the charger for a few weeks, I am pleased to see the charging volts and Amps always staying with the proper range. It does a good job on both sunny and cloudy days.
The Bluetooth interface and mobile app synced easily and the charger system settings can be made through the app more easily than with the display and buttons on the charger. The app tracks some historical data which is quite interesting and it gives real-time data on battery condition and detailed solar and charging information.
This is my first solar installation and it went well with no surprises. This unit costs a bit more but is well worth it in my opinion.

About this item
Innovative MPPT Design, up to 99% efficiency and Operate with Battery when it’s 0 Volt: Renogy MPPT technology is with a high tracking efficiency of up to 99% and peak conversion efficiency of 98%. It is the best charging solution even in cloudy environments where the max power point of the solar panels will fluctuate all day. Even when the battery is dead (at 0 volt), the controller can activate it with small current and bring it to life.
12/24/36/48V Automatically Detect and Multiple Battery Adaptation: Capable with and automatically detects 12V, 24V, 36V or 48V DC system voltages and Sealed Lead Acid, GEL, Flooded Battery. Especially design user mode to custom Lithium Battery parameter manually to solve the voltage matching common issue of lithium battery.
4-Stage Safely Charging: Features 4-stage charging (Bulk, Absorption, Float, and Equalization) of Lead Acid Batteries and 2-stage charging (Bulk and Absorption) for Lithiuim batteries as well as Lithium Reactivation. Intelligent charging method prolong your battery’s life.
Extremely Safe: Full system protection from program and insulated shell safeguards your solar system. The intelligent self-diagnostic capability can assess and protect against reverse polarity, battery overcharging, battery over-discharging, overload, short-circuiting, overheating, and reverse current. The UL certificated Rover charge controller with insulated shell prevents you from accident and keep your solar system in safe in high temperature.
Easy to Set up and Understand: LCD screen and multiple LED indicators for displaying system operation information, customizable parameters, and error codes, you can understand the charging status and set the parameter better and easier with the display. Easy to mount design and mounting brackets are included for convenient set up. You can connect DC appliances directly to the load terminals, 5 load modes for better load management, make it easy for you to use your device.

Update, the third one has failed, just like the first two. Wont charge my batteries except to 12.6v, should be 12.8v. Wont draw the full 640 watts from my solar panels, only draws 500 approx. @ 60v. Should be 64v @ 640 watts.
Fortunately I bought Amazon warranty and they are refunding my money for the unit. Unfortunately, not for the insurance policy. So I lost the warranty money because Renogy refuses to send me one that works. Im sure they have units that work, lots of great reviews on here, they just refuse to send me one that works 3 TIMES!
Pic above is at full sun on a clear day, with panels directly at the sun and clean. I have many years experience as an electrician, everything is wired correctly and good connections.
