Sunforce 7 amp charge controller

Customer Rating:
So far this Sunforce controller has met my expectations. I connected it to a 10 watt solar charger and it tells me that it is charging. I have been using it for about 3 weeks without any problems.

Must have Item

Customer Rating:
Not a lot to write about the charge monitor as it is all sealed and all you have to do is follow the wiring on the unit. I installed it inline with a solar panel on my tent trailer. Works good

Pictures can be deceiving

Customer Rating:
This product works very well and the customer support was excellent. The photos indicate that the device is connected via screw terminals located under a cover at the bottom of the device. In actuality there are wires leading to battery terminal ring connectors on the load side and wires that need to be spliced to the line or solar panell side.

Pretty Useful

Customer Rating:
Good price, easy installation, and it seems to do what it's supposed to. As noted in other reviews, the instruction sheet for this product is lacking --- it doesn't indicate what possible combinations of LED lighting may signify.

I installed the controller with a 15W solar panel also purchased through Amazon. The yellow LED stays lit continuously and the red LED that should indicate a full charge never appears. However, the battery appears to stay fully charged. We just returned from a week long camping trip in Eastern Oregon and never once had to run the generator to top off the battery. We only run lights each night for a few hours and a propane reefer. It probably also helps that we simultaneously installed a deep cycle battery.

So far, I'm totally satisfied with this purchase and recommend it for basic solar installations such as ours.

Great item has been working now for 3 weeks with no problem. I have it connected to a 15 watt solar panel and to a 75 amp hour battery.
