[RE-wrenches] Small Charge controllers, WAS (no subject)

[Maverick Brown [Maverick Solar]]

My vote is the Morningstar ProStar. Either the PS-15M or PS-30M. The
built-in meter is handy and the unit is a Charge Controller and Load
Controller at the same time.
 
On/Off button for the Load controller can act as a light switch if you place
the controller near the door or at least at a handy height.
 
For a tight budget, just get the meter free version, PS-15 or PS-30.
 
Has a simple charge status LED group and battery type selector. Built-in
auto 12V or 24V detection.
 
You really can't go wrong!

Hi Off Grid Wrenches,

 

Does anyone have any feedback on what brands and or models of small 12v
charge controllers they like? I'm looking at setting up a small emergency
power shed with a couple of PV modules and deep cycle batteries and perhaps
a Morningstar or Xantrex small charge controller. We just need something to
power a light or two and some cell phone chargers, etc.

 

Also, has any tried the Morningstar SureSine 300W inverter?

 

Thanks,

 

August
