Looking forward to the review! I use the sunsaver mppt 15 amp charge controller (about $200) and if I could replace it with a $10 unit next time around I'd be happy to do so.

One good thing about $10 controller is that you can experiment with it a lot, including experiments like dipping it into a thunder jug, if somebody's scientific curiosity goes that far...
