[RE-wrenches] controllers

[Ray Walters]

I agree that middle point is tough.  I actually still use PWM for small 
stuff, when I can find reasonably priced 12 v modules.  I use the Blue 
Sky 30 amp PWM.
I'm testing a Midnite Kid right now that will probably fit the bill.  
Also they're new Whizbang Jr can work with all their controllers and 
allows for charge control based on SOC, like Blue Sky.

I’ve had absolutely miserable tech support from Morningstar so I want to drop the line but I need something that will handle 2 60 cell modules in the 250w range for off grid applications. I use a Blue Sky for single panels and a Midnite Classic for three or more but in the middle the only one I can see is the Morningstar. Outback, Midnite and Xantrex are all overkill for just a couple of panels unless they want to expand in the future.
