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...

Why go with the MS MPPT, you could go with the Rogue and push the MPPT cost even higher. The Eco-Worthy cost $100 shipped, dropping the cost to below $300 vs the $350 for PWM.
Were PWM controllers always available that cheap? As higher voltage panels become more popular due to cost, there will be more demand for MPPT controllers to run them. Someone is going to step up and fill the need. just as they did with PWM controllers.
BTW My Schott Poly is 230w and I bet I see better than 15a at altitude where the air is clear. The brown cloud can obscure downtown and even the mountains at times, I'm sure it has a effect on my output even on what appears a clear day.
