Solar Chargers

Hello - apologies if this has been raised before - I'm just after a recommendation for a solar charger please. We only run a cool box and interior light and stereo from our leisure battery and would be using the charger for this in the main.
I have seen some on the JK website and also cheaper versions on decathlon - I'm sure there are many more options but wondered if anyone had any good experience of these and could recommend?
Many thanks.

If you are asking about solar charge controller then go for a genuine mppt to get the most from your panel. 
any you see for less than £100 is not a mppt it’s a PWM and wastes power

Mppt is the way to go, 20-30% more efficient than a pwm, try Bimble Solar for any thing solar, good prices and good service, they do a charger that after charging batteries will run a fridge direct leaving the batteries fully charged until needed, I think its called the Duo something, charges two batteries seperately as well.

I use the 40amp version of that one.
No problems with it and easy to setup and fit yourself.
