Thoroughly impressed with the Tracking and charging capabilities. This solar charger broadens the capabilities and efficiency of my solar panels. It also has programmable features that extends the lifetime of my battery banks. All these features are worth what I paid. I'm looking to buy several more in the near future.

This controller works great. I do wish it used a little less power on stand-by, as my region can have many days in a row (in winter) with no sun. I also have a small array system (I overbought for expansion purposes), so part of the low power issues are on me. I do have it integrated with my inverter and Mate 3. My only complaint is 1) a little pricey, but you get a TON of options... so you get what you pay for. and 2) I seem to get 10%ish better charge capacity from my midnite charge controller. Meaning the midnite controller is more efficient by a long shot. NOTE: The midnite controller manages a wind turbine (which the Outback) is not rated for. That might be a "wish" item, as if all items are Outback, then I could use the mate3 to control/manage power better.

This is my third Outback controller, the only system component I have never had a problem with and will continue to buy and use. I have a solar generator in the bed of my 2014 Ram 3500 to power my 27 foot Airstream in boondocking situations and to charge every conceivable battery operated tool we own. 1000 watts of panels on top of a contractor's shell and 6 48 volt Chevy Volt batteries in the bed. The Outback controller and remote meter ties the whole 48 volt system together and provides seamless power. My two other Outback controllers control solar arrays in off grid shops. Being able to tailer the output to the tenth of a volt really is awesome.
