Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I will give them a go. They are not up yet.

RE Poly and Mono, Mr Google and the E bay sellers say not much difference these days.

Other back shedders may have different opinions.

There was a difference in efficiency when they were first invented.

Hi Trout

I use these controllers and have found them very reliable and some good features built in,

The price is reasonable and allows for system expansion, they also make a 60 amp one a bit cheeper.

All the best
