Review on ๐ŸŒž Topsolar 30W 12V Monocrystalline Solar Panel Kit โ€“ Battery Charger Maintainer with 10A Charge Controller + Extension Cable โ€“ Ideal for 12 Volt Car RV Vehicle Marine Boat Home Off Grid System by Shawn Jacobs

Controller instructions could be better but it has a timer!

This small panel was easy to install on the roof of our gazebo using four BougeRV mounting brackets; It now charges the Mighty Max SLA battery to power multiple 12V LED lights. The controller is another matter; It appears to work as promised, but the tiny wire terminals with set screws are very difficult to connect, and the one-page binder has limited instructions translated into rambling English. It's not intuitive how to change settings; you'll have to calculate that for yourself. But - an unexpected discovery! -- Hidden in these settings is a timer that will turn on the load for the number of hours you set when the panel stops generating power - ie On the sunset. Or just leave it as is, set it to 24 if you're using an external switch or motion detector, or want the power always on.

Pros
