RV Charge Controller Setup in Hobe Sound, FL
MPPT and PWM controller installation, proper sizing for your panel array, and wiring with correct gauge and fuse protection.
The charge controller regulates power flow from your solar panels to your batteries. Without one, panels would overcharge and destroy your batteries. The type and size of controller directly affects how much solar energy actually reaches your battery bank.

What We Do
We install and configure MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) controllers. MPPT controllers are 20-30% more efficient than PWM, especially in Florida's heat where panel output fluctuates. We size the controller for your panel array wattage, wire it with proper gauge cable and fusing, and configure charging profiles for your specific battery type.
Signs You Need RV Charge Controller Setup
You're installing solar panels and need a controller. Your existing PWM controller isn't keeping up with your panel array. You upgraded to lithium batteries and need a controller that supports lithium charging profiles.
Pricing
RV Charge Controller Setup typically costs $200 to $500 depending on the specific issue and your RV's make and model. We provide an exact quote after diagnosing the problem on site. No work starts without your approval.

RV Charge Controller Setup FAQ
MPPT vs PWM: which should I get?
MPPT is better in almost every situation. It harvests 20-30% more energy, handles voltage differences between panels and batteries, and works better in partial shade. PWM is cheaper but less efficient.
How do I size a charge controller?
Divide your total panel wattage by your battery voltage. For example: 400W panels / 12V battery = 33A, so you'd need at least a 40A controller. We handle all the math.
How much does a charge controller cost installed?
PWM: $100-$200. MPPT 30A: $200-$350. MPPT 50A: $300-$500. Installation includes wiring, fusing, and configuration.
Can I upgrade my controller without changing panels?
Yes. Upgrading from PWM to MPPT will immediately increase your energy harvest from existing panels by 20-30%.
What brands do you recommend?
Victron and Renogy for MPPT controllers. Both are reliable, well-supported, and have Bluetooth monitoring options.
Does the controller need to be near the batteries?
Ideally yes. Shorter wire runs between controller and batteries mean less voltage drop and better charging efficiency.
