Sorry, but I can't figure out the brand of the grey battery /solar panel monitor. It has the name meTer on the upper left but I can't find the dang instruction
manual online. Boat came with no instruction manuals for any of the monitors on the control panel at the stern. I switched from sail to an R25 a few years ago
and sold it for an R27LE. 2008 R25 was easy to read but this 2020 R27 is a little confusing with the monitors Etc. Maybe it's just my age creeping up to 80 lol.

This is the solar controller and monitor. It's a PWM style.


I'd recommend just upgrading it to a Victron MPPT Smart Solar controller. Inexpensive, easy upgrade, you'll get 20% more power from the solar panel you already have. You'll then get solar stat's on your phone via bluetooth, which are easier to read and keep track of.

The manufacturer of that meter that Submariner linked to is Epever. You can find the manual for it online but it's not written very well. Renogy rebranded that meter for a while and there is a much better manual for it on the Renogy website. Run a web search for Renogy MT-1.
