Question:

I have one 100w panel. I want to purchase two 10 amp charge controllers. I want to connect the one panel to both charge controllers. Each charge controller charges one battery. Each battery used for different purposes. What pv connector do I want to purchase to branch one panel to two charge controllers?

To split the cables coming from your solar panel you will need one each, Go Power # 34267049 Expansion Branch 1 male / 2 female, and Go Power # 34267040 Expansion Branch 1 female / two male, connectors. This assumes that you are using standard MC4 connectors rather than some proprietary cables such as you might find on a Furrion panel. Of course you will need two more cables. If you let me know the length I can spec those also.

If you still need charge controllers you could use the Go Power # 34280503 PWM 10 Amp Controller that mounts flush on the wall, especially that open spot above the frig. You could also upgrade to the Go Power # 342GP-MPPT-8520 MPPT 20 Amp charge controller.
