Looking for a 12/24v 30a charge controller?

This is a clone of a real nice charger.. Built in 30A load controller too! I could use that!

Open circuit voltage solar module < 47 V isn't a bad rating. Should work with a lot of panel configs.

30A LCD Solar Charge Controller 12V 24V PR3030 = Steca - eBay (item 120716412888 end time May-25-11 12:11:58 PDT)

Who knows if it's going to be as good.?. But it looks nice at first blush..

I'm thinking of ordering one to use as a backup.. Just in case of lightning this summer!

I just got an email from the dealer..

"I just checked the owners manual and it is indeed 47V."..

He has some text on the sale-page saying it's 38v max for Open PV voltage..

I've looked over the manual of the original Steca charger, and it looks like
a very good 12 or 24 v charge controller. If this one has the same controller
and firmware, this might be a pretty good buy..

Found one on youtube!
