Can anyone recommend a good mppt contoller, there is lots on ebay but a lot are claiming to be mppt and are not, according to reviews on you tube. Also is there a big advantage over the standard controller.
I am using 2 x 100w panels and the inbuilt sargent EC325 unit only takes 120w.

thanks for any advice.

I have tested loads, 15 - 20

We will only sell and supply Victron MPPT regulators

On my motorhome we have 3 x 130w panels to allow us to test up to three panels simultaneously in identical conditions and we have had outputs from 1.7 amps to 4.2amp with alleged MPPT regulators

After searching through the old threads,,I think I'll try one of those SOLAR controllers, the same as Techno uses, and a few others by the look of it.
Thanks for all your help.

Why does the phrase "you can lead a horse to water..." come to mind when I read this thread? :)

We have two sets of two of these and they have been faultless.

Bought on Andy's recommendation.
