Hey Solar Guys, which charge controller are you using?
I'm looking at a Midnight Kid MPPT with the whizbang Jr. and temp monitor. It can handle up to 150VDC input and give me up to 30A output.
A close runner up is a Morningstar Tristar MPPT 30 with I Trimetric 2025. It also gives 30A output.
The Midnight system gives me the same stuff the Trimetric will, but it means I have to buy the controller at the same time ahead of figuring out my load.
At the very most, I will have four 6V GC2's for 420 AH @12V.
More than likely 4 x 120W, 3 x 160W panels or 2 x 190W. (Whatever I can find w/o shipping, and fit, and I can fit these)
I plan to use MPPT to get the most output and gives me the ability to use higher voltage panels.
