IT is for me as well, However I love electronics and I love DIY.

I purchased a pair of buck converters off Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DHNFLP3...roduct_details

I just bought the connecting cables to allow me to hook these up to a panel, adjust the out voltage and current, and attach the out to my battery, A buck converter is the basis for an MPPT controller, although of course this module is NOT an MPPT. But it would be a better charger than an equally cheap PWWM controller. Adjust and install, and you have close to good enough. My idea was one of these on the back of each panel.

I bought 8 of the 8ah cylindrical cells from which I created a 2p4s battery. I will throw one of these on that battery.
