Has anyone started out with an ebay cheapo and then upgraded to a morningstar?? If so, did you see any real difference??...tia
Forum Discussion
OP, it's like asking if anybody had bought a cheap fridge and then upgraded to better. Too many variables.
How "cheap"? MPPT or PWM? How many amps? Does it (the one that you are thinking to buy) have a battery-mounted temp sensor and adjustable setpoints? Are there any detailed specs, like efficiency at different power levels?
When talking about PWM under 15A, the price difference between cheap and good is negligible, gambling not worth the risk.
