I am changing out an off-grid AC coupled SMA SB3000TL inverter tied to a dual stack VFX3648 system with a Mate (original - not Mate3) and an FNDC, making into a DC coupled array. It was set up as AC coupled originally because of the distance the array was from the system (about 500 feet) and high voltagecharge controllers were not available at the time. Now that there are several options, we want to change it because the charging setup is less than adequate. My first choice is to use an Outback FM100, only because it keeps all the equipment tied together, although I'm not a big fan of Outback these days. What are folks experience with the FM100? And apparently it needs a Mate3 (not the Mate) in order to program and read it, true? Otherwise I will probably go with either a Midnite 250 SL or a Schneider XW80-600. TIA, Howie Michaelson Sun Catcher
