Our take on the Goal Zero 20A Charge Controller

The Goal Zero 20A Charge Controller is a solar charge controller for managing power from solar panels into a 12V battery bank. It handles up to 20 amps and accepts panel input up to 22V, outputting up to 25V, so it suits small to mid-size off-grid solar setups. It is a plain PWM-style controller rather than an MPPT unit, so it is simpler and cheaper than MPPT rivals but less efficient at harvesting power in low light or mismatched panel voltages. It suits cabin, shed and van solar systems where a basic, set-and-forget controller is enough.

Questions and answers

Is this an MPPT or PWM controller?
It is a PWM controller. That means it is simple and reliable but less efficient than MPPT at pulling power from panels in low light or when panel voltage is far above battery voltage.
What size solar panel can I use with it?
It is rated for 20A, which suits panels up to roughly 250W on a 12V system. Keep panel open-circuit voltage under about 22V, since that is the input limit.
What battery voltage does it support?
It is built for 12V battery banks, which covers most small off-grid, cabin and van setups. It is not intended for 24V or 48V systems.
Does it work with Goal Zero solar panels?
Yes, it works with Goal Zero panels and most other panels that stay within its voltage and current limits. Check your panel's open-circuit voltage before connecting.
Does it have a display or app?
No. It is a basic controller with no screen or app monitoring, so you will need a separate meter or battery monitor if you want to track charging.
Is it worth it over an MPPT controller?
If your panels are small and well matched to a 12V battery, the simple PWM design is enough. If you want maximum harvest from larger or higher-voltage panels, an MPPT controller is the better choice.
Where is the Goal Zero 20A Charge Controller cheapest?
At Best Buy, for $99.95, as of our latest check.
