ImageI have just finished installing my 100 watt solar panel connected to a 100amp leisure battery via a solar controller . 
Also I have a split charge relay fitted. Do I have to disconnect the solar set up when driving or just leave as is . Thanks .   Sorry photo is upside down

I have just installed the epever 20a with 180 solar panel and the mt50 read out for in the hab area. It also serves as a clock with date when you don't need to see what's going on. It seems to be pretty efficient from what I've seen so far. My only gripe with the mt50 is i have taped over the led as it is the brightest single green led i have ever seen and actually kept me awake! I'm also running a single hancook battery for the meantime as I had limited space however I have incorporated extra space in the build that I could add a second so I'll see how i get on. I'd see your set up should be fine with a lot of bang for your buck! The epever stuff seems to be an anomaly on the price quality ratio. Incidentally i ordered mine from Aliexpress along with the mt50 and saved about another 30%+ on sourcing it in the UK.
