Solar Controllers--Don't be a Sucker! :(
Just got to say it again, how it is we are sitting here for five months off grid on solar with no problems at all (third season on solar like this), using the non-programmable, non-MPPT, solar control...

I don't quite understand the rant. No one is forcing you to buy an MPPT controller.
A typical solar panels Vmp is different form a typical battery bank's voltage. Very simple math will show the difference in voltage multiplied by Imp = the additional power an MPPT controller will deliver. There's really no opinion involved, number don't lie.
Does everyone need or want one? NO. Do they add additional charging output from a given array? Yes. Do I want one? Yes.
