Review on High-Efficiency 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controller for Various Battery Types - 12V to 48V Auto, Positive Ground, LCD Display by Doug Virden

Revainrating 3 out of 5

No information on the RS-422 protocol

Asked about the RS-422 protocol. Unfortunately, the seller has no information. There is a port but there doesn't appear to be any supported remote monitoring of this device. I returned it. It is also a positive earth. This is for the remote radio site and the radios are negative grounded and the antenna shield connections are also grounded. This would also be a problem as I would need to insulate the solar panel mounts from the ground. So I returned this unit and bought a more expensive negative ground Epever with a documented RS-422 communications protocol.

Pros
  • High-quality assembly
Cons
  • There are nuances
