Bob, I value your input GREATLY, and the Blue Sky controllers are my next investigative project, based solely on your recommendation! As a matter of fact, I stumbled across your site while watching a YouTube video that made a passing reference to this site; he had mounted one UniSolar panel, which was the first time I had seen one. He, as well, discovered them on your site! So far, you have had 100% influence! After searching your site for info, I wound up reading it for DAYS, then launched an immediate campaign to source the now-discontinued PVL 68's. I got lucky and found the three I wanted almost immediately.
This is a system that I will be relying on greatly, and I take pride in understanding my endeavors. Admittedly, I should have conducted more research before posting my greenhorn questions, but I guess I wanted to test the waters to see if my expectations were reasonable, and hear from others, like yourself, that LIVE this stuff. I am having a blast reading all the responses, which have given me much food for thought. I am hoping that the controllers you recommend have user adjustability, so they can grow with my needs if necessary. I like adjustability and control, and I love putting custom projects together.
I'm sure that I will get a ton of questions about my system once others see it, and I would like to be able to present a SternWake-Bob-quality response to their inquiries! I like to "know my ****" (pardon the expression), and I truly appreciate the education. The quality of all the responses are way beyond my expectations.
