Some of the upsides to this is the Renogy panels are lightweight about 10-13 lbs. Items Not included area fused link at the solar panel itself those are a plug that goes inline with the plug at the panel cost $10. Some ring terminals for the battery itself, fuses for the battery and the load I used circuit breakers all available on amazon but if I had known I needed it would have ordered it all at once.
You don't have to use the load connection on the controller and it's advised not to if you have heavy load or large inverter. It doesn't take much to drive the current loads up at 12V example is I'm running a 18 watt LED strip light in my shed the current draw to my 400 watt inverter is 3.5 amps. When I measure current going to the light it is .3 amps at 110 V. If your planning on connecting a 2000 watt inverter connect it directly to the battery not the load connections on the controller.
The controller load connection works great for a light something you want to turn on when the solar power goes off example would be LED flood lights. IT has a few different settings I had to watch a video to learn how to program the controller the user manual is very basic.
Don't plug in the panels without power from your battery. Also don't use a lead acid deep cycle that ends in DC like 24DC or 27DC those are not deep cycles they will discharge very quickly. They are made for dual purpose like a fishing boat where you shut off run them on a troll motor or fish finder then start the motor and an alternator charges it right back up again these are basically start batteries . I made the mistake of buying a 24DC interstate from Costco for $78 I pulled 3.5 amps for one hour it went from fully charged to 11.9V under 50% charged.
You can find true lead acid deep cycles at RV stores, or a battery store for about $170 105AH. Auto repair shops like Autozone, and big box stores no longer carry true deep cycles they only sell those duel propose (DC) type which are junk. It's advised not to drop below 12V on a lead acid battery and 10.5 or below will damage it. Repeated draw downs to 11 V range will shorten the life. I replaced mine with a 100ah lithium I found on amazon for $288. little more money but well worth it can draw down to 0 volts without damaging it and it will last years no water to maintain weighs lot less.
My reason if I had not bought this on an impulse would go in a different direction is once you buy a panel if you want to add to it you really need to match the voltage and current. This is because wiring in series or parallel they will reduce the total wattage to the lowest Volt or amp. Lets say you have Renogy panel 18V at 5 amps you pick up some used 225 W panels at $45 each from local solar installer those are 39V at 8.5 amps. If you wire in parallel the total voltage will be 18V at 13.5 amps which is 234 watts of power not 335 watts of power with one Renogy 100 watt and one 225W used panel. The same thing happens when you go series the lowest amp is the total and the voltage adds up. You want to start with how many panels you want find where you buy them from. Then they all match and buy a charge controller that matches the power you want to use.
This was a great solution for this situation where the truck is parked in the sun during the day in a hot climate. The panel is quite stout. Eventually it will go on the roof when I have time and courage to drill some holes.

I initially connected a cheap 800w inverter for about 45 quid. It lasted a week. I upped the budget and bought a Krieger but it lasted 3 months and burned out. Ive now connected an energize 1110w I bought from Argos, so far so good and quiet as a mouse.
