Re: MCS and New solar charge controller
Wow, they must be getting large now that it’s become a manual handling issue, I thought the 250’s were bad!
Re: MCS and New solar charge controller
Just saw that bimble has the 575's at £150 inc vat.. maybe by the time I get back thy might be less, I'm really happy with those canadian Solars.
Certainly looks like the Charge controller will still be good for the 620's - also more black on them as opposed tot he 575's with lots of silver.

Re: MCS and New solar charge controller
We bought the 535's longi at £88 each incl vat from city plumbing. They are monsters! Took two of us to get them up and even then had to change panel install technique and use top wooden rail as a pivot point with stepladder set back so the pivot action didn't knock me off the steps. Lifted panels straight up vertical with a small lean in. Much beyond that size and I'd need a scaffold. Can't run up a roof with one of these on shoulder.
Black on black is defo the better look. Although I do have a soft spot for my old skool Sharp units on the workshop.
