 Affordable but not efficient November 1, 2008

The Sunforce #60032 controller is a decent product at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, it doesn't include maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology, so it wastes about 15-25% of the incoming power, especially at times of low solar input (which of course is when you need it most). To be fair, no charging controller that I know of in the under-$100 price range has MPPT, so I'm not knocking the #60032's value--just pointing out that if you're planning on spending the money for hundreds or thousands of watts of panels (like one recent reviewer), it probably makes sense to spend another hundred bucks and get an MPPT controller (e.g., Blue Sky or Heliotrope models) that can milk the maximum power from that expensive array... instead of throwing away part of it, as this unit does.

perfect product for my needs. I am using it to control my 500 watt solar
array. Works perfect, easy to install. Will purchase another when I expand
to 2000 watts.follow up: it failed after 8 or 9 days, amazon is replacing it free of charge, but this is something that cannot fail or my lights go out.

Charge Controller was easy to install and works as advertised. Much better product than the one I replaced. Very happy with it.

It works exactly as advertised. A little pricey, but worth it for the rock solid performance and reliability.
