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...

More Amps X more hours = more Amp-hours.
Mark, Well stated! I have two separate systems; 12v panels with PWM and 24v panels with MPPT, all totaling 440w, and have found this to be true. The MPPT continues the push (per onboard metering). MPPT can (most often in my case) help to 'compress' recovery times (an important aspect in winter months) thus maximize available battery storage capacity.
