The electronics in this may work fine, but I never got a chance to find out. It's built with some bizarre connectors much like you'd find on a trailer light kit, for hooking the trailer to the car's brake light system. The wires you're expected to connect your solar panel to are ridiculously small, and would create such resistance as to rob you of much of your voltage. A solar panel needs 12 gauge wires, minimum, but this thing comes with 18 gauge.I tried to cut and splice, but the few tiny strands inside the wires wouldn't have it without burning up insulation. Finally gave up and ordered Instapark's controller.Too bad, because the 14v set point on this was attractive. I'll do without, though.
