I recently picked up a 30 watt Renogy panel that was sold as a kit. It came with a 5 Amp charge controller that was suitable for sealed lead acid batteries so I upgraded that to a 10 Amp charger that will work with all of the available attery chemistries, as I plan to upgrade to LiFePo4 batteries in the future.
The Renogy controller is dead quiet based on my experiences with using it on the 1st of January as I activated three different parks. I think Renogy's decent value for the money...
