Critique my battery/solar setup before I purchase!

This was sort of my thinking before I pulled the trigger on my gear. Controller reads and compensates for temp when charging. Battery monitor just gives me insight that isn't that temp relevant. And finally, my LiFePO4 battery has its own management system built into it that is also monitoring temperature with respect to charging - especially from sources other than the PV array.

Once the wife turns that furnace on in the winter, the battery will be warm for the duration indeed!

. As to MPPT vs, PWM, they each have ranges of system size where they excel with considerable overlap in the area where their ranges meet. In the overlap, you can pick like you choose gasoline over diesel, or Coke over Pepsi, or ATC over FWC, or ice cream over pie (both for me, thanks)

Ah, the voice of reason.... and good taste!
