Product came broken. on inspection the LCD was not set in the window due to broken standoff. after hooking it up to a known good system the product failed to work.
Work great

I got the 100A model (with there being several under this listing). It does control the power, but doesn't do the real MPPT function of taking in power like 19V 5A and converting it to 13V 7A or such (exchanging higher V for more A). While I do see such on another controller, I'll note that on it the highest amps I was getting from one panel was 2.1 in converted to 2.6, yet switching it to this one I was getting 2.8A. Seems weird to get more amps charge to the battery on the non-MPPT one. So just as this goes for a lot less than many real MPPT units, it's not the best for power conversion. Instructions aren't very clear and have nothing about wiring panels in series or only parallel, so I'm reluctant to try a series system. I'll do more digging and see what I can find.

I bought one of these charge controllers for my 2000 watt solar array. I assumed it wouldn't be a true MPPT charge controller and I'm not sure it is. I have ten two hundred watt 24 volt panels and I had to wire them in parallel. I was worried about burning up wires and other equipment but did not burn anything. This controller has been able to handle the amount of power coming off of my panels. I am by no means an expert in anything electrical or solar but this charge controller has by far exceeded my expectations. I have been able to cook with a toaster oven and my batteries are usually full by 0930 on a sunny day.

Definitely not MPPT, and at this price point you definitely should not expect it to be. Compare it to similar size, spec, and price PWM controllers. There is not a lot else at this price point that will do auto sensing on all four nominal voltages. I have 12V, 24V, and 48V solar systems at various places on my land, and it is nice having one product that could be subbed in for a failed controller on any one of those systems. Yes, I did test it at all voltages and it did auto sense correctly.I would really hesitate to put 100A though this, but an appropriate salt factor for Chinese BS marketing, 30 to 40 real world amps would probably be fine.Pros:1. Very wide opening jaws to accept appropriately crimped cables. Did not measure but I am sure it would take an 8 AWG crimped connector no problem, probably a 6 AWG.2. USB power output is nice touch, means I can run an old raspberry pi to control some relays using this3. Large rear heat sink4. Decent mounting points on the outsideCons:1. Internals are loosely mounted to the housing, you can see it when screwing down terminals, lots of slop in the screw fittings versus housing2. Not anywhere close to waterproof, don't even think about mounting this where it could get wet, sweated on, etc!3. The included instruction pamphlet was _horrible_. Tiny text. Probably in the top 3 worst useless Engrish I've ever seen.4. Settings take a million button pushes to manipulate, and do not match what the pamphlet indicates at all. Cycle the low voltage cutoff too high, and it just cycles around to the bottom of the possible values, and now you are putting it back up from low to high at 0.1V per button push. And no, you cannot hold the button and let it self-increment, its you manually pushing it _every_single_time_.So yeah, completely bogus marketing calling this an MPPT. But as a PWM controller it is not bad, not great.
