Does anyone know anything about this 'solar charge controller'? 

Manufacturer apparently Sourcetronic but I can't find this product on their website https://www.sourcetronic.com/

 

I find the terminology on http://www.directindustry.com/prod/sourcetronic/product-61814-1681650.html confusing but that's probably down to translation from German

Probably discontinued. It was on their website in 2017.Maybe worth firing off an email

I used to work for a Japanese company and that brings back happy memories of the emails I got.  I didn’t complain as I speak no Japanese.

There is/was a company called, or traded as Steca that made solar charge controllers. I had one of their PWM ones with the first solar panel I got. Not one of theirs?

All I know is what I was able to glean from a number of PV system suppliers that seem to be offering this controller and some online searches

It doesn’t say much, just that you need a good controller, like this one, to correctly charge and control the discharge (though boats don’t usually use the load contacts) of your batteries, and make sure the controller is big enough for future panel increases.
