Did anybody tried Victron MPPT warranty?
After a few months of inactivity - disconnected from battery, loads and solar - it doesn't pass any current through. 20A model with Bluetooth. It's home now, on regulated DC supply. When connected ...

Hi Almot,
Any of the modern MPPT's with a high voltage input.
The devil is in the details.
My controller is advertised as 30 amp. But.....if you double the voltage that drops to about 24 amps.
So I'm in the situation if I want to add more or replace the panels--I have to replace the charge controller. If I went that route I'd pick an 60 amp unit.
I like Tristar because they "piggy back" three modules. That keeps the over head low when doing low light conditions:

As soon amps increase over 20, the 2nd module starts up, if we can trust what the maker says.
Since I'm no longer full time it is unlikely that I'll do that. The system was designed with a large battery bank and UniSolar panels which react to three frequencies of light--but also have diodes between EVERY cell.
I did get as far as finding a modern German panel that had diodes between all cells--but they did not respond to my attempts to contact them.
