Anyone else noticed a massive output drop with cheap PWM controllers once temps drop below 5°C?
Been running a 200W panel (2x 100W Renogy monocrystalline in series) on a Victron SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 in my Sprinter build for the past year and had no real complaints.

Anyone managed a decent solar setup for under £300 total? What did you actually buy?
Great shout from @Tina1971 on the PWM route at that budget. One thing I'd throw in — seriously consider a used leisure battery rather than new.

Anyone else had issues with a JK BMS dropping cells randomly during high discharge?

Anyone had issues with a Victron SmartSolar 100/30 dropping connection to the VictronConnect app mid-season?

Anyone else running a Renogy 40A MPPT with a garden office setup?
Right @MarkAllen69, you've had half the forum on tenterhooks here! 😄 While we're all waiting for the cliffhanger to resolve — just want to flag that with a 24V series array feeding into a 12V...

Anyone else had grief with a Victron Multiplus 12/3000 tripping on high-draw appliances?
