Default Help please to identify solar controller or monitor??

Hi everyone. Just bought a 2000 Gulfstream Tourmaster. It has 2 large solar panels up top. In the vicinity of the washroom and approximately below the solar panels are 2 displays which are shown in the attached photos. I don't have manuals for these, so went online and found a manual for the Blue Sky unit. I can't identify the other one on the left. Can anyone please tell me what it is. i.e. who manufactures it, and what is the model number I could use to look it up online? Also, they seem to serve the same purpose. Is it likely that each would be serving the same function - one to each solar panel? or...??? Thanx in advance.

it's just your simple Solar Charge Controller, which tells you the amps the solar is providing to your coach batteries - the other unit is your basic VOLTAGE reading for your House batteries.

The solar power simply recharges your House batteries, while you are not driving(motorhome alternators usually also charge the House batteries), or are not plugged in or running the generator. It gives you more time off-grid, without running the generator to keep your House batteries charged.

Thank you. However, the one I'm concerned with is reading 14.2 volts in the photo.
