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?

Thanks BFL, but what happens with the early pm3's after they are modified? Do they go into "boost" regardless of battery V ? Or is it irrelevant, seeing as they can only "drop" to the Op's setting?
Mine (it never had that 15 minute thing, it did the WFCO thing) now just starts out at constant max amps and keeps the voltage going up till the batteries reach the 14.8v I set, then holds that while amps taper.
The adjustable amps PMBC version acts the same way as my mod-PM3 does.
I have not tried to run the mod-PM3 with the batts so low it might do the boost and go to 15.x instead but I "think" I have started a recharge with the batts at say 45% or even 40% and it ran normally. I just don't want to confirm that it won't do a high boost voltage if it ever saw that 13.2 trigger without a specific test.
I also don't know if I left it on at 14.8 whether it would eventually drop to a higher version of its 13.2 float. Usually with these pots, all voltage settings the unit has go up and down together AFAIK.
