Epever, makes very solid charge controllers. They are very affordable and quite easy to set up. I have been using this brand charge controller for 4 years now with only 1 hiccup that was my fault.

Il ne fonctionne pas! Le produit n'est pas de bonne qualité.

I now have 3 EPEVER controllers and am happy with all of them. Seem to work really well and no issues for several years. High quality.

Easy to use, good value for the money and Bluetooth connection seems to work consistent.

Ça fait plus de 5 ans que j'utilise le premier mppt de 40 amp et j'en ai 6 au total sur le même system et 1 au cas ou mais ... ça ne brise pas et je risque de le rajouter au circuit

These work well, as I bought 2, one for emergency use. I live off grid, so these are my power source. I recommend getting the remote, because the pc app is hard to figure out. Watching a few videos was necessary for me. The remote makes it a breeze to change all parameters. The wire tightening screws/connectors are small and feel like the same weak ones $15 controllers have. The voltage is inaccurate in the daytime, while there is charging/discharging happening, but better at night. It's usually +.2-.3 volts higher than my accurate multimeter reads in daylight. I have three lithium 100 ah batteries wired in parallel. .2 volts is a LARGE percentage of the cycle on lithium 12v batteries. When the controller says 13.6-13.7v, which is my regular float, the batteries are actually as low as 13.3v. I have to raise my float to 13.7-14.0 sometimes, just to make sure they're full in the evening. At 13.6v float, the batteries are carrying my load, even in bright sunlight. I remember the controller acting different with my lead batteries, and just read another review saying the same. Another quirk I found, is that when I set the boost charge at say 14v for 60 minutes, it's not at all enough. I found that instead of charging the batteries TO 14 volts for 60 minutes, this charges the batteries AT 14v for that time, then the charge drops to my float voltage. So if I drain my batteries to 70%, I need .9 kwh to refill them, in addition the1 kwh I use. With 1 hour of 14 volts and the rest of the day at 13.7v float CHARGE VOLTAGE (13.4 actual), they just aren't getting enough power to refill them to 13.3 or so at the end of daylight. So I really have to watch them, and occasionally manually adjust the float voltage to as high as 14v, just to have 13.3v at sundown. Here's an example. This evening, I had 130 watts of draw, and the charge was only like 50 watts. The battery read 13.35 volts. So I was running on my batteries, instead of sunlight. I had to turn up my float to 14v, before the wattage went to like 150w. So yes these work, and I like them, but I have to keep my eyes on voltage.

I have a 100 amp charger of the same brand and it was flawless for the last few years so I stayed with the same name brand. I have had zero issues. Only thing that could be better is the software the monitors the unit via a laptop was horrible to hook up a few years back. I don't need it though as the unit tells you how many KWh it made over its lifetime. Very happy with the unit. Glad I bought the MPPT one and it makes more power with the voltage that exceeds 24v on my solar system.

This is a solid mppt charge controller. Works very well. You will benifit the most if you have higher voltage panels or if you need to run your panels in series for distance reasons. I have 24 volt panels so my old pwm controller was loosing 40 percent of my incoming wattage. I may eventually run in series to 48 volts in the future if i add more panels. Seems to be working great so no need to mess with it.

I didn't have a chance to install it, I was just able to give a quick test. It seems works OK.

I started off with Rich Solar controllers. Both burned up.I went to the EPever 40A because of the reviews and the price.When it got here I was amazed!Twice the size of the Rich 30A controller! And 3 times as heavy! Must have metal heat removal parts that the Rich solar ones didn't have.Installed it at night making it very easy, only had to disconnect the positive battery lead.From the first day, with only 6 hours of real sunlight, it brought the battery bank and my solar generator up to 12.4 volts each. Very impressive. Longevity is the only issue left. Time will tell.

I am mad at myself for not buying the more expensive Victron 100/30 smart controller... I have friend who did and it's super easy to install and change the battery settings on the Victron. The EPever brand is NOT user friendly. I should have known... ugh. You have to have a PC (not a Macbook) to change the settings . My friend let me use his PC and I tried multiple times to connect the PC to the 3210AN and it just kept giving me COM port errors. EPever has a Android app that also allows you to change the battery settings- but the Iphone app does not! I would return this product if I wasn't outside my return window. I am so frustrated. I have now have charge controller that is charging my batteries correctly. So lame. Do not buy this controller (and bluetooth adapter) if you only own apple phones and computers...***Update*** I have learned through Epever customer service that the cable you need to talk between computer and tracer is incorrectly wired and it will not work as is... I was encouraged to cut the cable myself and rewire it....? ***
