Make sure your controller is rated for the voltage output of your 230W panel. Most panels that size are a nominal 30Volts so if you're controlling down to a 12V system you need to make sure your controller will accept the higher voltage input if it's set up for 12V. There are small controllers that will do this but they are usually more expensive and often specially built for the large stepdown. Genasun makes a very good unit but they are proud of them.

hello fellow sculptor/neighbor,
I work in bronze, next state over in WV. depends on what voltage the panels are and what voltage your battery bank and motor will run at.

Subject: [Electric Boats] Solar controller
We are installing Two 230W solar panels on the roof of our houseboat. Can you recommend a solar controller that will handle them?
Stay Cool
