I've installed a few and they are working great. No issues or problems to

The Midnite Classic can be set with the onboard screen, and the Classic
Lite can be set with dip switches, but I actually prefer to pull both up
on the router in Windows. The software finds any Classics connected in a
few seconds, and its much easier to navigate and check all the settings

The Morningstar TriStar MPPT 60 and the 600 volt 60 amp both have
ethernet built in. Yes, you use their MSVIEW software, but no you don't
need an RS-232 cable.
The MSView software allows you to easily load previously developed
settings and to easily save and print those settings.

I used to use the Morningstar MPPT a lot, the programming is a hassle and
the meter not particularly informative, so as my wholesale price on them
rose and my price on the Midnite Classic and CLassic Lite fell, I almost
always go with the Midnite. I sure still love the Morningstar inverter,

Hello William,
There is a hassle factor with the Morningstar MPPT controllers. If you need a
custom charge setting, and I do most of the time, then you must download and
install software, use a RS-232 data cable, and reprogram settings from a Windoz
PC. That's SO 1980's!.

The most recent copy of the "Solar Photovoltaic Installation Guideline" that
I have is the April 22, 2008 draft. Has this been released in final form or
incorporated into some other publication?

Pure genius, Dan. Exactly what I needed. You are truly an asset to the Wrench
board.
Thanks Frank for the tip on the MOSFET. Good to hear from you.
Thank you,

Indeed, it could be as simple as a

another solar installer. We were
Thanks for your suggestions. I wanted to get ideas before heading out the site
since it is 4 hours away and in the middle of nowhere with no local resources!
I'll followup once I go visit.

Hello again:
Anyone have any experience with these charge controllers? How about the
meter?
Thanks so much for all of the help.

Hi Allan,
FYI, their data sheet shows cycle life at 50% DoD is 1850 or 5 years. The 20
year life is probably for standby use. I looked at these many years ago but I
have not tried these because of price.

Elsewhere in this thread, boB (Midnite) suggested connecting one of the
problematic lights and dimmers directly at the inverter output.
This is a very sound recommendation, and would immediately rule in .. or rule

Hi Troy,
Have you double checked that your grounding systems both in the house and
at the inverters/array are all up to snuff?
Sorry I can't offer any help with the inductance issue.
Best,
