Horribly expensive! $400 for a 30a controller. My Solar30 does 30a and cost $34. PWM though. Oh well.
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, so they were able to sell for less.
In steps the US Govt to "protect Americans." Hooray! Except not the American shopper who had to keep paying $10 instead of $4 for peanut butter. The Americans who got saved from those nasty Canadians by their grateful government were the peanut farmers who were able to keep their price at $10.
How is that $30 30 amp PWM testing out yet for you? Or is it still too cold, wet and dark tor wire it in and see how she works? Mine arrived, and it's a big 'un to be hanging on the wall with that large display.
