There is nothing wrong with the Blue Sky MPPT Solar Boost 2512iX charge controller.
Here's what's wrong with it:
Max voltage input spec: 35VDC absolute maximum (Recommend maximum VOC at STC ? 28VDC)
It is MPPT, but only for "12v," so can't put the two 12s in series for "proper" MPPT at "24v" where there is some serious voltage to make amps from. 12v MPPT is minimally better than PWM for daily AH.
This is a specialty controller designed for a special set-up involving several networked controllers in some sort of specialty solar farm. It has little relevance to RV solar IMO
The installer suggests an alternative for less cost would be the 2000 which is a real oldie. Indicates he must have a bunch of old/discontinued BlueSky stock he is using in his kits?
He may well be reputable and a good installer, but I would only have him do the installation of the components I chose, not that stuff he has out back he got somewhere :(
