Low power consumption before restart

I have 2 independent devices and I need to restart them every morning in bright sunlight to get the right and optimal result. For example, in bright sunlight with 9 panels of 300 watts (3 strings of 3 each) limits the output power to about 750 watts, but after a restart each delivers about 1.3-1.5 kW. This is repeated, and I mean every day. It's really unacceptable to go to the power plant every day to reset the systems.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Minor issues

Works reliably. Great MPPT charge controller.

Works well. I would have preferred to have much larger screw terminals to connect the wires. Other charge controllers I own have much larger screw terminals. It's durable, has a metal body, and cools well. I use it with two 200W solar panels to charge a 100Ah AGM battery. I will add more solar panels in the future. I would buy this again. This is a very affordable price for an MPPT charge controller. It works out of the box with default settings, but can also be programmed for other settings…

  • Excellent design

Surprisingly reliable

Manual Smelly. However, after playing around with it a bit, I figured it out. The device was installed more than a year ago. Remotely charge 4 golf cart batteries from a 24 volt inverter to run a 120 volt, 60Hz, 0.5hp well pump. for livestock. As I said, there is no network at all at the remote site. It's been 1 year and 6 months and the thing is still working. I went to the water tank just to make sure it was toast. The animal husbandry always had water. Not bad. And the price was really good.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Has Worked Well: Generators and Portable Power Supplies

This charge controller seems to work well so far and has never exceeded the battery voltage setting like the PowMr version I bought. This was critical for me as my inverter would shut down rendering the PowMr charge controller unusable and unsafe for the battery and inverter if the output voltage went above the setting. This MakeSkyBlue charge controller tracks max power very quickly, but it doesn't. seems to block at the maximum point compared to PowMr. With my installation of 1020w solar…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Small Stuff

Great product, not a very good installation. TERRIBLE INSTRUCTIONS

7/26/20 ANOTHER UPDATE: As much as I hate their google translate instructions, the product is too good not to tell people. I'm in Texas and it's hot today, but not hotter, maybe even cooler than the past few days. I was working on the back of mybHID PROJECTORS when I looked back and saw that it was putting out 487 watts. MY SOLAR PANEL IS ONLY 470. This thing produced over 100%. I ordered a WLAN and have to send it back. I'm starting to regret it. I hope it's just as good : UPDATE: Although I'm

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • flimsy
