Yes. With the boat, the sky is the limit for spending. Ask yourself, do you really need "the best" for your solar setup? Good panels are a must, they last a long time. With all due respect to "Maine Sail" (I've donated money to the guy because his site is so damn helpful), his article about cheap chinese controllers is years old. Again: "commodity" tech, this stuff just gets better and cheaper. The beauty is that if the cheap chinese thing doesn't work out you aren't out much, but the reality is that it will work just fine.
Having a built in display is more useful to me, personally, than knowing I have "the best" and a 10% efficiency gain. I don't care. My batteries stay topped up when I'm not on board, that's the point (for me). Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto > Just hoping someone had had good luck with some of these cheaper options. > > Josh > >
