You may find cheaper MPPT charge controllers on Amazon but read the specs and the reviews carefully. Some are ordinary controllers that somehow have been allowed to be advertised as MPPT. This one does what it says and is great for small scale experimental solar projects like the one I'm building. I especially wanted one with a display to easily monitor the parameters and what was going into the batteries without having to be measuring with my multimeter all the time. With the proper gauge wire, fuses etc. this unit (fed by a 100W monocrystalline panel which was doubled to 200W last night) keeps 180aH of batteries charged after an overnight drain running my multiple-tank aquarium set-up (25-125W, 0.25 1.7A draw through a pure sine wave inverter). My old PWM controller used to choke during peak hours (10am 2pm) and default to float mode here in the tropics (10 degrees north latitude). The Tracer keeps going all day and harvesting all the power that the other charge controller just wasted even with the efficiency drop due to panel heating.
If you've been fooling around with solar power long enough like me, this one was a breeze to set up. My only regret was not getting the larger 30A unit but I am gaining enough data to spec out a much larger system. MPPT is the way to go even with "low powered" systems like mine. I've read some comments suggesting MPPT is more useful for over 400W but for my situation with low loads, high solar intensity, high temperatures, overcast but bright, light to heavy rain about mid day to cool panels and other tropical features, this is the sweet spot for MPPT.

In my opinion this is the best value MPPT charge controller on the market! Substantial quality construction and works as advertised.Best Deals for MPPT Tracer 2215RN EP Solar Charge Controller Regulators 20A
Recived controler very fast. hooked to battery bank & solar panels. Charged batteries. Controller worked as discribed. Not to hard to program controller & remote meter. I will give it the real test when I go to the hills to work mining claims this summer. Now I need to find a GOOD pure sine wave Inverter to go with my solar set up.EarlHonest reviews on MPPT Tracer 2215RN EP Solar Charge Controller Regulators 20A
It's cheap for an MPPT controller. It's been working fine keeping my batteries charged at my off-grid cabin. Only complaint is that it's not shielded very well, so I had to move my radio at least 15' away to use it, but I can live with that. Instructions are lacking, but that should be expected when you are buying a non-name brand made in China device.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for MPPT Tracer 2215RN EP Solar Charge Controller Regulators 20A
Arrived quicker then promised, was well packed and the enclosed instruction were clear.Unfortunately it was not what I wanted, This unit is a PWM Type for Duo Battery Solar Charge controller.
What I wanted was a MPPT Tracer 2215RN EP Solar Charge Controller Regulators 20A + Remote Meter LCD Display (MT5).
So as far as operation I can't make comment, as I returned it. I received a full refund less shipping cost which was minimal. The error was mine , I though that I ordered the MPPT Tracer 2215RN EP while I was looking at it on Amazon but while comparing the two I ordered the wrong one.
I am very pleased with the handling and the quick response from both Amazon and SainStore.. All of it was professionally done.
The MPPT Tracer was shipped as well very quickly, packed well although costing a bit more I think will be a better controller for what I need. I Recommend the SainStore and Amazon
Will update once I have the MPPT Tracer 2215RN EP Solar Charge Controller up and running.
