Eco-Worthy 12v solar panels, Now drifting to... mono vs poly
When I search here, the only Ecoworthy results I get are for their controllers. Does anyone have any experience with their 12v panels?

Hi jrnymn7,
I'd really recommend a temperature sensor for what ever controller you decide on. They do cost more but the sensor will increase the battery life.
When I purchased my system it was $4.50 per watt. MPPT made financial sense at that price. I also had a #10 prewire and going to higher voltage (33) made lots of sense.
Today, with panel price per watt in free fall, I would probably go for a pwm with temperature compensation.
If the roof real estate has already been maxed out, MPPT may provide for more energy harvest per day.
