Solar Charge Controller, Topcloud 30A Solar Panel Controller 12V/24V PWM Auto Parameter Adjustable LCD Display Solar Panel Battery Regulator with Dual USB Port

This Topcloud 10A PWM controller is a nice, simple solution for low-cost solar systems. It gets the job done without fuss, making it ideal for basic setups where you don't need all the bells and whistles. The Good: Easy to Use: The LCD display is clear and the adjustable parameters are straightforward to set, even for beginners. Affordable: For its functionality, the price point is very competitive, making solar power accessible. Dual USB Ports: A convenient addition for charging small devices directly from your solar setup. Reliable Performance: It effectively manages charging for both 12V and 24V systems, providing a stable power flow. The Not-So-Good: PWM Technology: While perfectly adequate for smaller systems, PWM is less efficient than MPPT controllers, meaning you might not be extracting the absolute maximum power from your panels. Basic Features: Don't expect advanced monitoring or complex configuration options. Overall: If you're building a budget-friendly solar system and need a straightforward, reliable charge controller, the Topcloud 10A is a fantastic choice. It's a no-nonsense workhorse that delivers on its promises.

Great price, easy to connect as terminals are clearly marked. Working well and displays battery voltage clearly.

Good controller but unfortunately blew up on me I believe due to my own fault putting too much power into it, but could be something else not sure. I would recommend paying extra for a proper one but did work whilst it lasted and seems to be good if on a budget. Easy to set up and small device to fit in small areas.

Placed in motorhome. Seems to be working well.

Great

The first one I bought has been working for over 2 years without a hitch. Recently I purchased another one for a similar project. It worked initially but after setting the parameters, would not connect to the load/output. I went over the settings many times and checked the instructions at least ten times. No change, so I returned it to Amazon and ordered a new one. Initially, it worked ok but after I had installed it in an outdoor enclosure the same thing happened. Would not connect to the load. In the second Youtube video the demonstrator showed how to switch the load off and on using the 'Up' setting button. Now it works. All this trouble, time and problems, and the answer was simple but nowhere in the pidgin English instructions does it tell you this. I wonder what else it doesn't tell you.

It’s a pwm charger controller for low spec setups these are great , I have ordered a lot of them as they have been reliable .for larger spec stuff I obviously use MPPT controlllers ( epever) …but for small hydroponic set ups these have been great …I use outside but I do make water proof . In the video you can see the watering system on our veg all running from the solar through the charger ….using the load out on the pwm

Output clamp missing, so cannot use it as it will not hold the wire securely, Very disappointed
