Looking to get a single 100w solar panel kit from solar solutions soon for our Beach and wondered which charger works out best bang for buck? Don't need anything fancy. Victron one?

Will be running a fridge, the usual lights in the evening and charging a phone now and then. Thanks!
 
We have 100w panel with Victron charger. Ran heater, fridge and kept devices charged for 5 nights without any other charging source no problem.
 
Doing my occasional thread reading and stumbled across this.

For the Beach, the Victron makes most sense as it can be hidden in the rear jack compartment and accessed via bluetooth.

The Epever 130W MPPT with built in LCD works just fine too, just you cant see the display in the jack compartment, so you either live with it, put it somewhere else (often tricky with the Beach), or buy the MT50 remote display and cut a large hole in the rear pillar plastic trim for it, but now you are appraoching the cost of the Victron, so most people opt for that, unless you prefer a physical screen to look at rather than use your phone.
