Outback Mx60 60A,12-48V Mppt Charge Controller
Best controller I've been able to find. Been using mine for 2 years charging a 12v bank from a 48v array. Biggest problem I have is the ReBulk setting (voltage that must be reached before a bulk charge is reinitiated) can only be set in 1 volt increments - I would prefer 0.1v increments. The reasoning here is the 13v setting obviously forces a bulk charge every morning. The next available step is 12v (which translates to approximately a 40% charge) is too low. Battery freezing becomes an issue (about 5F at 40%) and I don't like discharging that deep. 70% is my preferred depth so a 12.4v setpoint would be reasonable but it can't be done. If your bank voltage is higher, this becomes less of an issue. The 150v limit is a minor problem, 250 would be nice, but I can live with it.

Customer testimonials

“I am new to actually using and setting up Alt Energy, and you guys made it accessible, affordable and offered suggestions and guidance every step of the way. To put into perspective how important this is here is a little story. I work in magazine publishing and have been using Adobe Photoshop for more than 15 years and have bought several copies of every version from v1 upto the current v8. I am quite knowledgeable in computers and programs, but was having a problem. I called Adobe, explained my situation, and told them I only had one question. The were quite rude and would not go any further unless I gave the $39.99 per incident.

This is a good snapshot of customer service in America today. You guys are the exception. Keep up the good work Alt Energy's day has come and you guys are the King. Thanks.”
