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...

What sold me on a MPPT controller was a Youtube channel I subscribe to. With a PWM controller, the person making the video got 1-6 amps on a clear day, and if lucky, would be able to get some decent charge. By switching to a Tristar MPPT controller, he was able to easily get 20+ amps and his battery bank would be at float around 10:00 AM to noon.
Even with solar panels so relatively inexpensive, there is only so much square feet I have available on a rooftop, so with that in mind, paying the premium for a MPPT controller allows me to use what relatively little wattage I might have.
