Horribly expensive! $400 for a 30a controller. My Solar30 does 30a and cost $34. PWM though.
Right. My wheel-barrel costs 20 bucks. No engine though.BFL13 wrote:
Reminds me of when a Canadian company got banned from selling peanut butter in the States. Turned out that the US Govt required that nobody was to under-cut American peanut butter sellers, who had to pay $10 a unit from US peanut growers. (Goober peas?)
The Canadian company was buying peanuts at $4 a unit ("world price", not "USA price") from Argentina...
Now imagine - hypothetically - what would happen if peas required not farmlands but hi-tech equipment, know-how and production lines. And all Canadian and US pea industry would've moved to China. Heck with those Canadian and US farmers :)...
Almot, you have a hate on about China, so we will never agree. Also I don't give a hoot about our farmers in particular. If they can't match the "world price" then they should find something else to do.
Like right now in Canada we are paying twice as much for milk as Americans pay, thanks to our grateful government supporting too many dairy farms in Quebec. If those farms were in Manitoba instead, would we be still paying double? Ha ha.
Where does it say we are required to support some guy who decided to go into the solar controller business even though he can't match the "world price" and we have to pay him "extra" so he can stay in business?
IMO, he should just find some other way to make a living, and meanwhile my poor little wallet can empty itself doing more important (to me) things.
