Pros
- Handles about 5,800 W of panels on a 48 V bank
- 250 V input takes long series strings, so distant arrays need thinner cable
- Remote on/off port, relay and VE.Can make it easy to tie into a lithium BMS and GX system
- Fanless, with a five-year warranty
Cons
- Costs about $100 more than the 150/100 for the same charge current
- Heavier and larger than the 70 A models
- Battery temperature sensing is an extra purchase
