Trimetric 2030 battery monitor

I too really like the Trimetric and SC2030 solar charger combo, and have my finish voltage and overcharge setup virtually identical to Grizzzmans. My solar componentry changed a couple times last year, as I tried a couple different borrowed MPPT controllers, and both series and parallel variations on the panels. I also grew the system from 400 to 600 Watts. I definitely prefer the SC2030 controller overall, with the panels of course in Parallel. It does a better job of charging the batts than anything else I tried. As mentioned, it doesn't work with the high voltage panels, but being I prefer parallel panels scattered across as much of the roof as possible, it seems to be the best compromise for the mixed shade we encounter in many of the areas we like camping in.

I have 4 additional 100 watt panels in the garage, and all the other items I need to upgrade my solar to 1000 watts total when the weather improves, 10 panels in two banks of 500 watts. The trimetric can control 2 SC2030s with a simple jumper harness connected between the controllers. Ralph at Bogart engineering helped me get me set up for the upgrade.
