[RE-wrenches] cheap MPPT controller

[Dan Fink]

Hi Jay;
I get that question all the time also. Using 2 Midnite Kids puts you in the
same price range as a Classic.
If you need UL listed, both Victron and Bluesky have one at the bottom of
your capacity range and somewhat in your price range, 50A 100Voc.
Non UL, Renogy has one that looks solid. Steca, Phocos and Samlex are all
too small on the amp side for you, but are good inexpensive products with
support.
Once you need 150Voc and more than 50A, everyone jumps up into that $600+
range.
Of course there's Amazon and Ebay for non-listed, don't expect accurate
ratings, reliability, warranty you can actually use, or any tech support.
