New to solar and trying to build budget system that works all i have are 4 solar panels attached photo of data sticker currently trying to find the right charge controller to use with all four panels
I understand it depends on wiring so will most likely do series / parallel to save myself from partial shade just don't want to buy the wrong thing and have to rebuy as im retired and cant afford mistakes
suggestions appreciated
thank you in advance

Is your system 12V or 24V? Assuming its not 48V. Something like a Victron 100/30 or 100/50 would be a good, dependable charge controller. Recommend staying away from the really cheap stuff.
You would wire in a 2S2P configuration. If you have a 12V system you would need the 100/50 model. If 24V system the 100/30 would work.
