I am really happy with this solar panel regulator. My previous 25 amp regulator by Go_Power burned out after 6 years and I was very disappointed that the company had discontinued the 25 amp replacement regulator. The GP-PWM-30 requires a slightly larger cutout than the old panel but not much... The outside dimensions of the front panel are the same as are the screw holes to attach it. The new regulator has some features that make it worth buying as a replacement for the old 25 amp regulator.... even if the old one still functions. First... the wire connectors of the new board are much superior to the old ones which are not supported and wiggle against the solder joints of the circuit board. The new wire terminals do NOT stress the circuit board and should insure a longer life than the old one. Also, the features of the new board are awesome! The PWM-30 keeps track of the battery's condition and charges at slow/high rate depending on the battery needs. In the morning the regulator "ups" the charge rate to give the battery a good solid charge after it has been discharging overnight. A really neat feature of this regulator is that it sets up an "equalization" routine so the battery is equalized about once a month. I'm no expert but the equalization schedule is supposed to keep the battery de-sulphated so the lead plates last longer and the battery therefore lasts longer/performs better. If I had known how well this regulator would work I would have bought it sooner and not have waited for my old regulator to die such a slow, miserable death!!

I bought this for my RV to control a 50 watt panel, a bit of overkill, but I may add more panels later. I previously have used the same model on my boat and it works great.
