They responded via email same day and were very helpful with a couple of follow up questions I had as well...I was very impressed. I ended up returning this CC. A few days later I received an email regarding the webinar so I thought I'd pass it along. I signed up for it and there was no fee. Some may find it usefull or interesting. The Effects of Oversizing PV Arrays caught my attention. What it's going to cover: Battery Charging stages Differences between PWM and MPPT Controllers Effects of Oversizing PV Arrays Efficiency variations with output power Electronic and environmental protection Controller/Inverter features and accessories High voltage charge controllers https://www.morningstarcorp.com/live-webinars/ I'm not affiliated with them I'v been using the MorningStar Sunsaver 10 for 5 years which has had no issues.

I really like the Morningstar solar controllers. They really led the way for a long time. You can update the firmware/software. Add wifi. They have a super fast MPPT algorithm. And the best reputation for longevity. I watched the last webinar on using the Relay Driver. Well worth watching. Learned a lot.
