There are some very knowlegeable members on this forum and I know someone will be able to answer your question.

Try a seasoned employee of Canadian Tire or Home Depot. I have gone there for many questions.

ok i figured it out, as long as your controller can handle more amps than your pv array's max output you're good to go. 100 watt panel, approx. 6.5 amps. the home depot guys can barely point you to the socket sets. thanks, though.

Lol, that's why I don't shop at Home Depot. They don't know as much as they claim to know.

Glad you got it figured out though.
