[RE-wrenches] BZ Products Charge Controllers

[David Katz]

Dan,
If I was deploying systems by helicopter, I would use the most reliable equipment I could find.  Spending an extra $100 on components is far cheaper than a copter ride.  I would use 36 cell modules and a Morningstar PWM controller.  Smaller modules are easier to package and ship. You could even supply a backup controller.

Nathan;
I was just about to ask exactly the same question here on the Wrenches list. The BZ controllers seem to fill an amperage niche vs price point that we need here for small  MPPT 12v - suresine systems deployable by helicopter, canoe etc. We don't need UL listing for these systems.
I'd love to hear reports on these controllers from other Wrenches before I buy any of them and haul them out into the bush.

Hello wrenches,

Anyone have any experience with BZ Products charge controllers? Kind of thin website (http://bzproducts.net/) but it seems like a pretty slick way to be able to use the ubiquitous 60 cell panels in small systems, if the controllers are quality.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,
-Nathan
