Dan, If I was deploying systems by helicopter, I would use the most reliable equipment I could find. Spending an extra $100 on components is far cheaper than a copter ride. I would use 36 cell modules and a Morningstar PWM controller. Smaller modules are easier to package and ship. You could even supply a backup controller. David Katz

The BZ controllers seem to fill an amperage niche vs price point that we need here for small MPPT 12v - suresine systems deployable by helicopter, canoe etc. We don't need UL listing for these systems. I'd love to hear reports on these controllers from other Wrenches before I buy any of them and haul them out into the bush.

Kind of thin website (http://bzproducts.net/) but it seems like a pretty slick way to be able to use the ubiquitous 60 cell panels in small systems, if the controllers are quality. Any thoughts appreciated.
