Reviews

  1. Maj Ikle

    Feel confident that you are buying a great product from Sunworks after ten years my charge controller is still working fine and following a recent battery change I also got excellant immediate customer service free advice from Tony and the Crew. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who is creating a 12 volt space in their home or living off grid.

  2. N.D.

    I recently changed my motorhome so when I fitted a solar panel there was no question as to which controler I was going to fit I fitted one on my last motorhome and it allowed me to monitor the solar panel and batteries

  3. R Dempster

    Sunworks replaced my original charge controller when it was damaged by moisture. An exemplary customer care service quick and efficient replacing the item with a sealed electronics board. The charge controller has since worked faultlessly. Excellent product and company.

  4. R Goodwin

    Delighted with the SBC1 from Sunworks. Installation was simple on my Chausson Welcome 27. It has performed trouble free, and I can see what is going on with my solar panel constantly. Highly recommended!

    I have had one of these units, the SB1C fitted on board my boat longer than I care to remember and recently upgraded to their 15amp version, the DB2C; owing to changing my boat and not wanting to compromise the electrical features when it came to selling my previous yacht.

    With two charging outputs, I can now keep my domestic services entirely isolated from my engine battery and only connect in parallel after the engine is started.
    I always know exactly what state both batteries are in and what my solar panel is doing also.

    My previous Sunworks controller never faltered and I had no hesitation in choosing another for my next boat. This time, I had a choice of two colours, a dark or light grey plastic box. With its secluded wiring coming out from the back of the unit it was easy to install, requiring only one large hole cut through the panelling to carry the cabling.
    The box it sits in is strong and because there are no buttons to press virtually sealed from the weather also…and it looks good alongside my new Garmin plotter.
    A truly excellent product.

    Easy to install and very fast delivery direct from sunworks. These are the best regulators you can buy I have had four now for caravans and motor homes. two 11 amps one 15 amp and currently a 30 amp on my new motor home running 3 125 amp batteries and 300 watt solar panel.
