    Hi aci..,

    My favorite MPPT CCs are made by MidNite Solar  --  the Kid,  a 30 A CC,  and the Classic series of CCs.

    These are full-featured CCs,  perform very well,  are backed by a great company,  which is continuously improving their products,    usually via FirmWare Updates (for their CCs).

    Quality products are not inexpensive,  but the MidNite products are well worth the price.

    I am using genasun and Morningstar.

    The 10 amp genasun is dirt simple but I like the additional features the 15 amp Morningstar has. But the Morningstar costs more.

    Solar hybrid gasoline generator, 7kw gas, 180 watts of solar, Morningstar 15 amp MPPT, group 31 AGM, 900 watt kisae inverter.

    Solar roof top GMC suburban, a normal 3/4 ton suburban with 180 watts of panels on the roof and 10 amp genasun MPPT, 2000w samlex pure sine wave inverter, 12v gast and ARB air compressors.

    I have both the Morningstar MPPT 60 and the Midnight Classic 200.  I prefer the morningstar as being silent (no cooling fans screaming) and completely reliable and produces more power than the classic under varying (cloudy/sunny) lighting conditions,  I had one day this year where the classic never woke up to produce any power, connected to a 2Kw array
