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.
There is no need in +$300 Rogue that can do 30A, when the post-conversion current is mere 15A. Eco-worthy is 20A, and fits your particular bill better. There is another charger looking identical to Eco, from another - also not well known - Chinese manufacturer. I think both are pirated version of something else, that's why $80. China doesn't play by the rules. Tomorrow somebody will put up for sale a truckload of stolen chargers $10 a piece, and all this detailed analysis goes out of the window.
Honestly, I don't know what this debate is about anymore. There can be reasons to go with high-voltage panels, and then MPPT is the only choice. And there is a boost in amp-hours and watts with MPPT processing, in most scenarios.
