Dave O Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hi All It appears that my old RV-30DE Charge Controller (for my single satellite panel) has gone to controller heaven. It is non-op and very hot to the touch. The Blue Sky Solar 3000i MPPT charge controller has been recommended by AM Solar as the best replacement. Any comments/thoughts or recommendations??

skp51443 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Probably the wrong place, Technical might be better http://www.rvnetwork.com/index.php?showforum=6 but most folks will find it in any case. I was very happy with my Blue Sky MPPT but I had a bigger system than a single panel. I can't tell you that you'd see enough extra power from the MPPT to make it worth the extra cost above a conventional switching controller.Blue Sky Solar 3000i MPPT -- $250 + http://www.blueskyenergyinc.com/products/details/solar-boost-3000iMorningStar ProStar -- $110 http://www.morningstarcorp.com/products/prostar/ First rule of computer consulting: Sell a customer a Linux computer and you'll eat for a day.

horizon36 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I have a Blue Sky on my 400 watt system and it works great. The 3000 has 3 stage charging and can certainly handle more panels than you have now. I also agree with Stanley that you don't need the better controller with such a small system unless you plan to add more panels.
