I recently upgraded my solar panel on my sailboat from a 20watt to a Renogy 100 watt panel. The prior controller wasn't rated high enough in amps so I decided to go with the Renogy Wanderer. It is pretty straight forward to install noting that it does not have "load" terminals. This is fine with me as I come straight out of the controller directly to the battery and would not have used a controller with "load" terminals. After hooking it up I had trouble getting the "battery type" light to go to red indicating a flooded battery. I called Renogy (always very good to get onto the phone with) and I was instructed to use a slightly different way to change the type of batteries and it worked. I currently also have a small house independent emergency system using two 100 watt Renogy panels and a controller that actually shows the amount of amps being made and being used at current time and over periods of time which I really like. The Wanderer is about half the money and doesn't have this type of LCD display. I have since ordered (and yet to install) a Tenergy Watt meter that will give me the display that I want. The front of the Wanderer has three different lights. One for the "PV" which is a green light that shows brighter when receiving full sun. The "BATT" light shows green when the Batterys are in good shape. The third light is either Green for a sealed battery, Orange for a Gel battery or Red for a flooded battery. Overall I am happy with the Wanderer but considering my that I now wanted a controller that actually shows the amps being produced and used I maybe should have ordered a controller like the one I have at my house. If that isn't important to you than save the money and buy the Wanderer. Read full review

It has a basic setup that will work for a system up to 400 watts. I did get the Bluetooth module for it too and it works exactly as it should. The only con really isnt a con at all. The only thing you can adjust is the battery type but for a budget system this is set up just fine.

Just what I was needing for my camping solar panel system. Light weight and fully featured. Very pleased with my purchase.

Got one 100W solar panel feeding 4 Wanderer 30A controllers, hooked to 4 different batteries. Keeps all fully charged! Just make sure the battery is at least 75% charged! Or it will NOT CHARGE!

Only reason not 5 stars? It doesn't have RJ-45 connection on it to connect to the HUB I purchased for my future Renogy items..Great on AMPS and Voltage from solar panels.
