What is the difference between this and the HQRP Solar 10A Charge Power Controller / Regulator 12V / 24V 10 Amp with LED Indicator plus HQRP UV Chain / UV Radiation Health Tester that is $31: Model SCP?

I don't know. I think I had the same question when I was looking at them and couldn't tell a difference so I just bought the cheaper one.

Thanks for the answer. Re: solar power, go to Amazon and check out the specifications and under Power Source it says "solar". Very confusing since I saw no Solar panels on anything. Kinda makes my crap detector go up the scale.

I purchased the HQRP Pair 25 feet / 7.62m 1x4mm Photovoltaic Solar Array Cables with MC4 Connectors and HQRP Coaster cables to connect from the panel, but to the controller (depending on the controller you buy) you might need to modify the end. I had a perfect fit on the panel end, but my controller needed an eyelet connector. Since I am an electronics technician, I happened to have some eyelet crimp adaptors handy. So I cut the ends off and crimped the eyelets on, so now the wires screw directly into the controller (no quick disconnect). If you buy two of these (of course, a shorter length) you could permanently attach one set, and still have the quick disconnects.

Here are the specs on the label of the adapter that is used to charge the light: Class 2 Power Supply, Model HT72005, Input 120 VAC 60Hz 9W, Output 12VDC 500mA. I wish I knew what all of that means, but I don't, and I hope it helps! If it were me, I'd take all of that alphabet soup down to Radio Shack and let somebody there find a replacement part. I found a few adapters online that come close, and they all cost $7 or less, but you wouldn't want "close" to risk burning out the spotlight.

Looks like the max SOLAR INPUT VOLTAGE is 100vdc for the 1210RN model. The max PV input power is 12v 130 watts, and 24v 260 watts. The higher the voltage, the more efficiency. Since this manual is translated from Chinese into English, it is very confusing. You can have a 100 volt solar panel array, is what I get out of it. This is what we get for buying Chinese products. I can tell you it's still working great for me since I bought it earlier in the year. I have one 100w Grape solar panel that is 24vdc. The voltage on "12v" panels is all over the place. I think the controller will be able to handle that up to 100vdc with 12v out to your battery bank. Looks like the max SOLAR INPUT VOLTAGE is 100vdc for the 1210RN model.

Hello I believe it is a voltage regulator only,I bought several of these and I did not see any thing more then just to regulate the voltage, and it works good,make sure the voltage regulator and the solar panel are both 12 or 24 volt as i burned my first 12 V reg as I bought and hooked up a 24 V solar panel and cooked it :(John graber

You've probably checked on line, but this is a good site to reference http://www.chargingchargers.com/tutorials/solar.html 25 milliamps is really small, and may not generate enough watts to bring the controller into play. I connected the controller to a largish solar panel, output approx 20 volts, for keeping my boat battery topped up.. the combination seems to work well at this level. Hope this helps.

The 11406 is discontinued. the lower price for the 21005 must be a promotional price. I first bought the 21005 with a solar panel, then later bought the 11406. Comparing them the only difference I see is different model numbers. Same batteries. Both charge fast. I found no difference in the descriptions that would make me choose the 11406 again. I am pleased with both though. The Goal Zero site gives no numbers in their description. ???

Solutions From Science uses a PWM Morningstar and 50 feet of cable with their 90w or 100w panels. However, a high quality MPPT controller will enable you to get as much output from a smaller panel. I recommend the Genasun GV-4-Lead with a 50w panel, or the GV-5-Lead with a 65w panel. Check these out at the Genasun site, then see where you can find them (Amazon does not carry them). They are made in the USA, and are the absolute best for low wattage applications. (I have 5, and love them.) Check Missouri Wind and Solar for the panels. Keep the cable as short as possible, as voltage drop occurs quickly in a 12v system. Also, use solar cable if possible, or at least low voltage landxcape cable, 12 gauge if possible. Finally, mount the charge controller as close as possible to the batteries; not the panel.

I think a 20A would be the min I would hook up two panels to. I have 4 panels wired in series and parrallel to a 40A MPPT controller. The MPPT vs PWM is a different thing completely. You can google the difference between the two. I have had great luck and success with MPPT TRACER 3215RN Solar Charge Controller 30A 12V 24V EP I've used this one and the same brand in 20A. These are great panels and make power even in moonlight.

The HQRP charge controller will work with your 100 watt panel. Whether or not your entire "system" is right for your needs depends on your loads. If you plan on running a fridge, TV, radio, lots of lights, electric heater, etc., it ain't gonna happen.

Hello, Your question is very vague in the type of solar system that you have. A Charge Controller is usually used in a system that feeds batteries. Depending on the complexity of your system determines on the type of charge controller that you typically would have. This gauge will only tell you what one batteries current state is. The battery would have to removed from the system to get an accurate reading. The gauge check is very simple in its process to determine your battery state. What is the current voltage and hold long can it hold it for 10 seconds. Without more information, that is about as good of answer I can provide at the moment. I hope that it helps Thank you, Avel Ureno BatteriesInAFlash Tech

Unbelievable. That's my take on the price point established for this device. $2k to charge a USB device? 100w? That's about .8 (eight tenths) of one amp of current for any device needing 120vac (w/v=a). I can certainly understand the utility aspect of this item, but not the price being asked for such anemic output or novelty of sun tracking. And sorry, Matt, but "600" watts doesn't even come close to a 'typical' refrigerator. Mine demands 9.7amps - that's (v x a =w) so that's 120 x 9.7 = 1,164 watts. The price point is ludicrous for what is being offered.

For one panel I use a 7 amp in line charge controller.The Sun Force 7 amp controller, which is available on Amazon for $14.01, has worked well for me.It also contains a diode to prevent the battery from discharging at night.The max output of the panel is about 3 amps.

Frank, i have a Renogy catalog on front of me and don't see a 350 panel. This must be something new. And by 30ampcharge controller I assume a PWM charge controller. Your panel can be 12 or 24v not both, unless this is somethingreally new. You might try one of the solar forums or email Renogy support. Don't call tech support because i tried.Don't. Ok? Try Northern Arizona wind&sun; or midnite solar forums. Also midnite solar has videos on youtube about everything. You should be able to charge a 12v battery with a 12v panel and charge controller-period. Unless the battery is no good. Put a voltmeter at the output of panel then the output of charge controller. Good luck. Frank, i have a Renogy catalog on front of me and don't see a 350 panel. This must be something new. And by 30ampcharge controller I assume a PWM charge controller.

that 90-watt monocrystalline solar needs to convert to a 12V to work with that SunSaver ss-10- so it can work. I have one it dos not work with all the Solar Panel ok have a nice day.
