Is this controller water proof? Weather resistant? Water resistant? It doesn't appear to be. Since solar panels are always used outdoors, it's conceivable that the controller might also need to be outside. Think deer feeder for example.

ProductExpert38· 4 years ago
This should be placed within 2-5 feet of the battery, in a well protected dry place, free from moisture and weather.

Do the attached connectors allow for 2 panels to be attached or do we need to purchase additional cables?
1 answer-
ProductExpert31· 4 years ago
The connections allow for one connection for the input. For multiple panels a Y adapter would be needed or a hard wire connection to the fitting.
