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 bet! Any feeling for what real world gains you are seeing vs Isc of your panels into the battery bank?

That was the hardest thing letting one of the batteries get low enough to really test. A few days didn't do it to the grp 27 and I gave up on thinking the 8-D would drop when it lost 10s of a volt after running the furnace all night. We set it at 72 and there was frost in the morning so it wasn't warm out.
Next trip I'll take the 12v fridge that pull a constant 8 amps. Both to pull down a battery and to see if the panel will run it during the day.
