20 Amp Charge Controller Compatible With Goal Zero Boulder 200 Briefcase

Question:

I had bought a 8mm female to sae connector from your company for another project// I ALREADY OWN A //Boulder200 Briefcase 4.630 Portable Solar Panel i wanted to set up 2 batteries 12v and use a 12v or 24 v light led system- for temporary home lighting if the power goes out USING THE BOULDER 200 will this controller work- or under rated for led lights? If not what do you suggest? Thanks

The Go Power PWM Solar Charge Controller would actually not work for your Goal Zero Boulder 200 Briefcase Solar Panel # 287-32409 as you're going to need a 20 amp controller instead.

Instead you'll want to check out the:

-Goal Zero 20 Amp Solar Charge Controller with Battery Terminal Connections for Boulder Solar Panels # GZ29YR.

This 20 amp controller is designed to be used specifically with your Boulder 200 Briefcase solar setup, however this controller is not rated for use with a 24V battery system, and is only meant to be used with a 12V system.
