    Charger(s) suggestions for 10x100w panels

    I'm looking for configuration and charger suggestions for the solar panels I'm going to be installing on my van. The only set hardware at this point is the 10 HQST 100Watt panels. They fit my layout and the price is right so those are a done deal. I'll be charging Lifepo4 cells but I haven't...

    Sanity check before ordering panels for van. 5x190w with GroWatt 3000?

    Hi, Like so many others I'm building out a camper van and adding solar. I'm ready to pull the trigger on the solar panels but I'd like to make sure I'm not missing something obvious.
