[C38] Solar panel controller

[Rich West]

I don't know the flexcharge controller (regulator) but I've been considering
this one:

>From what I read, you can get a little more power out of your panels with
this controller.

Hi guys,
 
Do any of you have experience with the FLEXCHARGE controller that West
Marine sells, or any other charge controller for solar energy??
 
I`m going to reinstall four ARCO 2.4 amps, 45 watts solar panels on
ESTANCIA. The  panels are supposed to regulate the energy produced, but they
will never stop sending current and an overcharge can occur. So, that`s what
I need a charge controller for my two battery banks. The Flexcharge is a
good option, but I assume that some people out there have used other brands.
 
Any recommendations or comments will be appreciated.
Regards,
