I ordered this 50 Amp MPPT Solar Charge Controller from ECOBOXX on Amazon to use on an RV we have located on our property. The charger arrived safely, securely packaged by the manufacturer.The box included everything you need to setup and install the MPPT solar charge controller including the instruction manual, terminal connector, and black box.Installation was quick and easy. For the first step, I just inserted the cable ends of the battery and solar panel through the terminal connectors corresponding ports and tightened the screws.Next I placed the terminal connector into its black cover. This makes it easy for you to insert the whole terminal connector with black cover into the bottom of the solar charge controller.Next attach the MPPT solar charge controller to wall or area you want it located, making sure that the wires are long enough to connect to the solar panel and the battery. The last step is to connect to the solar panel and the battery and you’re ready to go. There is a video on the listing showing the installation process if you need more clarification.Once installed, the ECOBOXX MPTT controller works great. My only complaint would be I would’ve liked a digital /LCD screen or app to show information and access features.But for the money, I understand that would probably not be cost-effective and this is a great value for a product that works incredibly well overall.

This charge controller is a beast! It can handle a lot of power from my solar panels, and I seem to be getting pretty efficient energy delivery from my panels. Currently running up to 300 watts at 12v through it, and planning to add more panels soon (I have the 50amp version... FYI the 25amp version would limit out at 300). I really like how easy it is to connect everything. The connectors just snap on and off, which make it incredibly easy to hook up and disconnect the wires. This is a huge plus any time I need to work on the system or add a panel. The only downside is that it doesn't have a screen. I'd love to be able to see things like how much power is coming in and how my batteries are doing. It does get warm on high-sun days. There are vents and the heat dissipates but plan for some space to let the heat go.Overall, it's a great option if you need a powerful charge controller. Just wish it had a screen so I can see what it's doing without additional instruments.

I had a nice sunny day to put this charge controller through some tests. It has some nicer features, such as it tested fine with higher end LiFePO4 and SLA batteries and is extremely simple to set up. The settings are all preset, so all that's needed is to select the correct battery chemistry. The connections are very convenient, with a removal terminal block and more than ample room for heavier gauge wire than most. The manual states 130V max input on its first page (not in the specs grid, though it should be clearly noted there) and 600W max in the spec sheet. I ran one of my spare 540W 49VOC bifacial panels into it for testing, but I will be connecting two of them in series mounted on the RV and the charge controller will feed our 300Ah LiFePO4. While it performs well, it's worth noting that it lacks some features that are pretty common in similarly priced units. There is no way to change the presets, there's no communication capabilities, no LCD, no temp sensor (optional add-on), and the aluminum case is the heatsink but there's only around 1/4" space in the back of the unit. At least it's not mounted totally flush, but when it's quite hot out, the solar string is pushing lots of power, and the battery is soaking up the charge, the unit would likely benefit from more clearance and better airflow. It seems a bit spendy when comparing it to many of the bargains out there right now, however, many of those bargain units have a huge fail rate. If I run into any issues with this charge controller I'll update the review.

This is currently the highest amperage charge controller I have in my stable. I have several 10A controllers for my small LiFePO4s and I have a few 35A controllers that max out at 420 watts each. This 50A unit will take 600 watts of solar power. And I never get the rated power from my panels anyway, so I'm running a theoretical 1000 watts of solar through this guy and it's quite happy. There are two cooling fans and well placed vents in the sides of the housing for cooling purposes. Speaking of the housing, it's all metal and seems to dissipate heat well. There is no display and pretty much no information available on it's functioning. All you get are LEDs to highlight what type of battery is connected and a charge / fault indicator LED. If you see red, it's time to check things over... That's all you have. So definitely no bells or whistles. But if you just want to transfer a lot of solar power to your batteries, and don't care about those extras, then this is your controller!

The EcoBoxx MPPT Solar Charge Controller comes is offered in two size 25A and 50A. I got the 50A model. It is rated for max PV input of 135V, current 40A and power of 600W. Nominal output voltage is 12V/24V (auto selected) with a charge capacity of 50A. MPPT controller as the most efficient. It measures about 10 1/4" L x 7 7/8" W (counting the mounting brackets) x 2 3/4" T. It is designed to be wall mounted with two fans at the top and intakes on each side.Hookup is made easy because they use a module system, where you attach the leads to a connector bus which slips into a collar (for easy removal) and both push into a set of connectors in the unit. Once connected you use a simple push button to select the battery type (flooded, AGM or Lithium).Its a simple, but powerful charge controller that does what it suppose to. Having a readout or Bluetooth connectivity to get numeric data would be nice. It has a temperature sensor socket, but no details on a sensor (which I do not need here in S. Fla.). It is perfect for a small to midsize solar power system like in an RV, camp or part of an emergency power backup for storms.
