"I understand if a $400 controller is more than you need."
$400 is certainly more than I want to spend but I plan to add at least 200w more if I need it and I want a controller that does what I want it to. Right now I'm leaning towards the Morningstar TriStar TS-MPPT-45 Charge Controller, Morningstar TriStar TS-RM-2 Digital Remote Meter 2 with the Morningstar Remote Temperature Sensor. Now that is subject to change again lol. Also looking at the 120w panels at solarblvd.
Shopping list can change fast around here though I guess it is never done until you complete the transaction
