Charging with Precision
The included external temperature sensor helps Rover 30A Solar Charge Controller track the battery's temperature all year round, avoiding under-charging in cold climates down to -40°F, and overcharging in blazing weather up to 149°F.
Works with Bluetooth
Versatile Load Control
Control Your Energy From Distance
Versatile Load Control
Rover 30A Charge Controller features Auto-On/Off Mode, Timer Mode, Manual Mode, Test Mode, and Always-On Mode, maximizing your system's flexibility.
Wiring Steps
Do not insert the wires into the space below the socket/hatch, which will damage terminals because of loose connections.
Step 1.
Loosen the screws above the terminals to make the socket/hatch descend.
Step 2.
Insert the wires into the socket/hatch. The terminals on the Rover 30A can accept up to 8AWG of wires.
Step 3.
Tighten the screws to elevate the socket/hatch to complete the wiring.

Connect and set the battery type
The first step needed to set up the charge controller is to connect it to a battery. Then you can directly set the battery type using the arrow keys on the charge controller.
Connection of a Temperature Sensor
Connect the label port on the controller and then place the sensor inside the battery compartment. The sensor can be taped to one side of the battery.
Mounting On a Flat Surface & Bluetooth Connection
The package includes mounting brackets that can be used to mount the Rover on any flat surface. You can purchase an additional BT-2 Module to connect to the Rover using the RS485 port, allowing you to monitor and directly change parameters via the app.
Connect to the Solar Panel
The final step is to connect the solar panel. Use the adapter kit to connect the panel to the Rover. Once connected, the PV voltage will be displayed on the LCD screen.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. In what order do I connect my system?
The off-grid solar system includes the solar panels, charge controller, batteries, inverter, Bluetooth module, and wirings. First, the battery should be hooked up to the charge controller with tray cables. Second, then connect your solar panel to your charge controller with adaptor kits.
2. What type of protection does the Rover MPPT Charge Controller have?
Battery Protection: Battery Over Discharge protection, Battery Over Voltage protection, Battery Reverse Polarity protection, Load Protection: Load Overload protection, Load Short Circuit protection, Controller Overheating protection PV Protection: PV Over Current Protection, PV Short Circuit protection, PV Reverse Polarity protection, Battery overheating protection.
3. What are the Positive ground and negative ground charge controllers?
In charge controllers, positive ground or negative ground refers to how the controller is wired internally. Positive ground means all the positives are hard-wired together, and the internal switching happens on the negatives. The negative ground is the opposite. It doesn't matter as long as your solar +/- runs to the charge controller and isn't grounded anywhere else.
4. Does the Rover 30A MPPT charge controller have a built in 30A fuse for the rated 30A load output?
No. Please always add an external fuse between the charge controller and batteries. To determine the fuse size needed between the charge controller and battery bank, you can match the amperage rating on the charge controller. For instance, if you have one of our 30Amp charge controllers, we recommend using a 30Amp fuse.
5. If I have 2x200W panels which of these MPPT charge controller will be good? 20A or 30A ect.
If you connect these panels in series to a 24V system, the 20A model would be acceptable. But you would need a 30A controller if you connect these two solar panels in parallel to make a 12V system.
6. How many watts can Renogy Rover 30 amp charge controller handle?
The Rover MPPT charge controller can work with standard off-grid 12/24V solar panels with high voltage or multiple panels with voltage up to 100V. And the maximum combined input solar power is 400W for a 12V battery system or 800W for a 24V system. In particular, this controller will significantly increase the efficiency of a solar system where the solar panel voltage is much higher than the battery voltage.
7. What is a Solar Charge Controller and what is MPPT?
Renogy Rover series solar charge controller uses the most advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology to track solar panels' maximum power voltage point as it varies depending on sunlight exposure and temperature. This technology ensures the maximum efficiency of your solar system and significantly outperforms standard PWM solar controllers. Another benefit of MPPT technology is the wide solar input voltage range. This controller can work with standard off-grid 12/24V solar panels and with high voltage or multiple panels with voltage up to 100V.
9. What does 30A on MPPT charge controller mean?
30A represents the max amount of amps the controller can output going INTO THE BATTERIES.
