Hello Podders
Quick question. We want to get a solar panel and I can t tell if there is a charge controller built into the Rpod OR do I need to buy the one that comes with the panel we are looking at purchasing? Any insights? Thanks Troutpodder

Based on what I've read here, the R-pod does not have a solar controller built in. The "solar" connector goes directly to the battery(ies). And from what I've heard, there is no fuse or circuit breaker in between.
I haven't checked ours, but I will be.

Check out Renogy Solar. Very reasonably priced and the controller is mounted on the back of the panels.
