Charge Controller Load Connection

[Rogett]

Has anyone used the load connection on their solar charge controller? If so, what did you connect it to (use it for)? I know it is not necessary but seems like a waste to not do so. Looking for best uses here.

I don't use mine. But, since there is usually an ability to schedule the on hours of the load connected to those terminals, one could use this feature for something like a porch light that you might otherwise forget to turn off in the morning. I can't think of anything else it might be used for. Mine is only good for 20 amps IIRC.
