    Midnite Solar?

    Folks, Midnite Solar is only 20 minutes or so from me. I don't hear much about their offerings on this forum. Is their stuff outdated? Expensive? Or? I see they have DIY MNMPPT60DIY DIY Charge Controller. Has anyone installed this unit with success? Thank you kindly, Steve

    Folks, I am still in the design phase of my system. I want to use the 100a SOK batteries to power a couple of things. I am a little hesitant and don't want to abuse or damage the batteries. So my question is: What is the easiest way to do the initial charge on them? They will be used...
