🌞 ACOPOWER Midas 40A MPPT Solar Charge Controller: Efficient PV Negative Ground Controller for 12/24V Solar Panels & Battery Charging (2020) Review

Unfortunately I bought this for a caravan that was delayed so I sent it back. Bye. I like that ACO is a US company. Almost identical to many others available. Will buy it again when the trailer is here.

First off, let me say that I'm no solar wizard. That being said, I can say that this charge controller is vastly superior to the PMW controller it replaced. The charging capacity of the battery is excellent. I have four 140w solar panels powering seven sealed 100ah batteries to power a 1500w GoPower inverter. The system will now run the large freestanding freezer all day while the inverter will indicate a low input after a few hours as before. . I do not discharge batteries below this level…

So this is my fourth solar charge controller and my second MPPT controller. My first impression when I opened the box was the good workmanship. It was heavy, made of quality materials, and felt like it was built to last. I plugged it in to test and was almost embarrassed to attach a modest 30 watt panel to it for testing, but it was all I wanted. had in stock. It recognized my battery immediately and when I plugged in the panel it took a few seconds to start recording and displaying charge…

I planned and plugged it in to charge my LiFePO4 battery but once it was on I realized I couldn't live without using the USB->RJ45 adapter and its software could! The main modes (SLA, Flooded, Gel and Custom) can be selected via the charger UI, but.1) No LiFePO4, Li or anything other than the basic 4 UI! 2) Custom settings cannot be configured via UI, need a cable with your customization software! Their UI has few customizable options, making the cable and software essential if you want to…

I live in Ohio and currently don't generate much energy due to solar power. So I decided to dive a little deeper into the build quality and include some internal photos. Among other things I have worked in an electronics factory as a hand solderer and reworked parts that came out of wave soldering with solder beetles/balls etc. I am qualified to repair anything including SMT with stereo binoculars. So when it comes to how electronics are made, I have a very critical eye. Honestly, I loved the…

I live offline so I get all my power from solar. I add a 12 volt DC battery to one of my sheds to provide lighting. For this project I am using an ACOPOWER Midas 40A MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) charge controller. It has now been in use for over a week. ADVANTAGES: • The controller is easy to program. • This is a negative ground regulator making it suitable for most van and vehicle installations (my barn has no preference) • It supports a range of battery chemistries - flooded cell, AGM,

I got this Acopower MPPT charge controller to charge a battery pack that powers a couple of constant load devices in my shop, like fridge, freezer, tool battery charging station and some protection lighting. With a little experimentation I can add a few extra circuits to this system if needed as this MPPT controller does a great job of optimizing the panel's performance and converting it into power that I can use. I would like to welcome the manual for this charge controller. Acopower did a…
