Yes, the Go Power PWM Solar Charge Controller - Potted IP68 - 10 Amp - 12V and 24V Item # GP28FR can handle up to 10amps and a 100w panel like the Go Power DuraLite Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller - 100 Watt Item # GP66FR only puts out a maximum of 5.06amps.

If you have a different panel just check to see the maximum amperage output to ensure it's under 10amps.
