Currently living off-grid with 415Ah of battery recharged with a 40 amp battery charger that at bests outputs 29Amps
Finally ready to do the SOlar portion of this system and leave weekly Petrol Buys alone.
Originally I was thinking a simple PWM (TS-60) system with 4 150w panels would suffice.
But now I am thinking Hi voltage panels as they seem to be MORE in my ball park.
Sad part is I already purchased the TS-60
I get about 3.4 sun hours during my shortest month and eventually I want to supply 1K to 1.5Kw during sun up times to run the electrics for our business...Keeping those loads off my batteries.
Question. I like the Midnite Solar and the Tristar MPPT controllers, but BOTH are outside of what I can afford to purchase at this time. I am at the cross roads and have planned to start buying panels. 2 at a time each week as thats what I can afford.
Any suggestions on an inexpensive, decent quality MPPT controller?
