Good question.
We do not have a particular unit that you can just add to the Furrion MPPT Solar Charge Controller - 50 Amp - 12V/24V # FSCC60PWBBL or any other solar panel set up to monitor the system.
The backlit digital display on the Go Power PWM Solar Charge Controller with USB Port - LCD Digital Display - 10 Amp - 12V # 34280503 acts like an information center and will tell you chargin current, battery volts and battery state of charge.
You can use a multimeter and turn the dial until it measures DC voltage. Place the red probe on the positive terminal of the panel and the black probe on the negative terminal. If there is sunshine directly on the front of the solar panel, the meter should show a voltage between 10 and 17 volts.
