I recently added a solar panel and a mppt 15 solar controller to my camper.  I have some questions regarding the controller that I can't find any info on.  What is the load light for?  It seem to always be green.  Also, on the far right is a symbol I can't make out and 2 empty RJ's for plugs below it that are not being used.  What are these for?  Lastly, when would I use the reset button?  Thanks for any help.

Is it the Morningstar MPPT Sunsaver 15 amp?

If yes then here is the Morningstar web page for that unit and on the right you can click on the Downloads area for any of their documentation.

It is not a morningstar controller.  It just says Solar Controller on it.  I am assuming that is the name of the controller, no other name on it.  I got it online at solar torrent.

OK, I found it online a Solar Torrent.

Didn't find any documentation on it anywhere.

Seems like an interesting company... radar detectors, auto-door locks, fingerprint safes, toner cartridges, inverters, solar panels, etc.

You might end up having to call or email them.

The load light probably indicates the load circuit is active and the 15 amp limit hasn't been exceeded. The controller should trip at 15 amps and may need to be reset. My Morningstar controller does this automatically.
