As has been mentioned, a good controller is everything! Only really small panels get by without one, the 5 watt panel that keeps the Whaler battery alive is too small to damage anything. The 50 watt panel on Coquina goes through a Morningstar controller that was about $35 and has worked fine for many years. Morningstar is not the cheapest place to find controllers, but they are good and reliable unlike random Chinese FleaBay stuff.
