Safer Battery Charging
The Renogy Rover 40A MPPT Solar Charge Controller optimizes your solar energy harvest while continuously monitoring voltage and current to safeguard your batteries and system from potential risks, ensuring reliable and efficient power.
Charging with Precision
The external temperature sensor ensures year-round battery protection by adjusting charging parameters to prevent undercharging in frigid conditions as low as -40°F and overcharging in scorching heat up to 149°F.
Maintenance-Free Power
Proprietary quinary alloy plates and specially treated grids ensure low internal resistance and deliver high discharge currents of up to 2000A (5s). Absorbed glass mat separators and reinforced plates are tightly packed for maximum density, preventing electrolyte movement and leakage even on rugged, bumpy tracks.
Solar Upgrade? Here Are Some Tips
Power Consumption
Think about how much power you wish to receive after expanding the existing solar power system.
Rooftop Surface
Consider the available roof space your camper van/shed has for extra solar panels.
Consistency Matters
It’s best to install the same type of panels as the original array for a smooth & aesthetic upgrade.

1.What do I need to complete my off-grid solar power system?
A solar panel has to be connected a charge controller to regulate current, and a battery to store the electrical power. You will need adapter kit cables to wire the solar panel(s) and charge controller, and tray cables connecting the charge controller to a deep-cycle battery.
2.What does off-grid and on-grid mean?
On-grid simply means solar power equipment (array or solar panel) is connected to the electrical grid, while off-grid refers to systems that are not connected to the grid and therefore store the generated power for later use. Off-grid systems are not affected by grid blackouts.
3.Why is my solar panel under producing?
Solar panel performance may be hindered for a number of reasons. Most commonly environmental conditions such as indirect sunlight, temperature rise, cloudy sky, and dirt and stain build up on the top glass will cause a reduced power output.
4.How should I connect multiple solar panels for my system? Should I use a series or parallel configuration?
How you choose to connect multiple solar panels depends both on the size of your off-grid solar system and your power needs.
Connecting solar panels in a series increases the voltage of the system, leaving the system current output the same as a single panel. The total amount of voltage of a series connected array can be measured by multiplying the voltage output of a single panel by the number of panels. Or if you have panels of different voltages you add the voltage of each panel to get the total voltage of the array.
Connecting solar panels in parallel increases the current of the array and maintains the voltage output of a single panel. The total current of a solar array connected in parallel can be measured by multiplying the current of a single panel by the number of panels. Make sure the open circuit voltage of the connected panels does not exceed the maximum DC input voltage of the power station or controller.
5.How many solar panels do I need?
The best way to gauge how many solar panels you need, is to understand and define the power load needed from this system. Power is measured in Watts, and capacity is commonly measured in Watt-hours (multiplying power output in watts by the required number of hours of operation multiplied by a safety factor of 1.5-2). Therefore, it is wise to size your battery bank first based on the minimum required capacity, and accordingly decide how many panels or how much power input is needed.
6. Can I add more solar panels to the Rover 40A and expand my system power output?
Yes, you can add more solar panels in series/parallel to increase the power output. The Rover 40A solar charge controller has a maximum PV input current of 40A, maximum PV input voltage of 100VDC, and maximum input solar power of 520W at 12V or 1040W at 24V. You are limited by the maximum input voltage and current the charge controller can handle. Building a system operating at around 90% of the rated voltage and current is safer to ensure tolerance for any system overvoltage or overcurrent.
7.Will this solar kit power my AC home appliances?
In order to determine what size solar kit is appropriate, you must first define the total load to be expected of the solar power system. Most manufacturers will publish a specification sheet of the AC unit online and will include a nameplate sticker on the body of your AC home appliances. Both can be used to determine the actual power rating of the AC. BTU is a common measuring unit for energy in AC and water heater products, however we are intrested in the energy rate, or simply power.
Power will be listed in units of Watts, and can be used to determine the total load resulting from running the intended AC unit. Multiply the power rating recorded in watts by the total number of hours of operation intended, to obtain the total watt-hours. Divide the total watt-hours by the peak sun hours in the location of installation, and multiply by a safety factor of 1.5-2, to obtain the total number of watts your panels should produce to power the air conditioner load. The total power load can be divided by the power output of one panel to obtain the number of panels needed.
8.When do I need an inverter?
If you intend to use this solar power kit as a power supply for home appliances (e.g. coffee maker, TV, etc.), then you will need an inverter to convert the output voltage from a 12 VDC system to a 120V AC output socket. Renogy offers a variety of inverter products to suit your unique system and meet your power demand.
