Just when I thought I had uncovered all the cons under the sun… another one is “forced” upon us!
The same group which brought to North America the most outrageous examples of solar panel rating exaggerations (ie. the less is more theory!) is now offering a “30Amp controller” which in fact does control 30Amps…for 30 seconds! In actual fact, the consistent amperage it can control is only 21Amps. So here you are, about to connect 25Amps of solar panel output to that control and POOF…it burns out, or worse, it ruins the other balance of system components you have purchased with hard earned money.
Oh well, here we go again. Hopefully none of you will be subject to the “fries” these controllers could create for your systems…if so, my suggestion is that you take the entire system back for a full refund.
I suspect that as the solar industry becomes more important, there will be greater regulation to force these types of groups out of the market…a guy can dream can’t he?
