I don't believe it ! I bought it and I don't really even want it ! I was sure this would go for more than 12 bucks. Fooled me, oh well. Whats w/ links not working ?

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.
The slow boat from China arrived, so I should get the controller from home to test it in a few days. I only have the one 130w panel so not sure I will be able to tell if it is a "real" or "fake" MPPT.
The guy I sold my other panels to says I can use them for a test but that would put 200w in series with 130w for the "24v" and I am unsure what the Voc limit is on this controller. It might say in the manual (or not) That video guy says that is a problem with these things.
I thought you could say if it is real MPPT if it did run a 24v array and send 12v to the battery at something near twice total Isc of the array. Can you tell if you just have one 130w 12? If so , how?
RJ got us all into this, so he should be the one to test it, using his two panels in series. :) Go for it RJ! You can always get another one. :)
