Solar controllers
Hi
Just about to fit a hard korr 170w solar panel to the roof of my Tdi 130. The second battery is located in the tub.
What solar controller are you guys using and where is the best place to mount them ?
They see quite large and looks like they can get quite hot and need alot of air flow around them.
Thanks for the advice in advance.

Solar controllers
I’ve been using Victron Bluetooth units for a while now, doing a good job and I reckon they are good value for the dollars.
One in the defer, one in the Lux and one on a portable battery.
I wouldn’t call our large and haven’t noticed them getting hot.

Yup, I've got a Victron as well and I'm happy with it. I mounted it under the driver's seat.

Korr has solar controllers. I know someone with their MPPT one who is happy with it. Might be worth checking.

Depends on your intended level of panels, power requirements and configuration.
A benefit of Victron over something like the Kickass unit above is the upgrade paths available.
Victron can charge Wet, AGM, Gel and Lithium.
