SB3000i Solar Boost 30A MPPT Charge Controller with Display, Fully programmable for Lead-Acid or Lithium Batteries. Dual Battery Charge or 30A LVD Load Output

Used this to replace a non-MPPT charge controller so that I could get more power out of a 100W panel. What I would REALLY want is two 100W panels in series (not parallel so that one shaded doesn't affect the other) and then use the MPPT to optimize, but the flexible panels I am using on an RV are 20-22V OCV, and that exceeds their recommended max input. Hopefully the next version will take in up to, say, 60VDC OCV. But still five stars because it never claimed to do that, and is solid and performs as expected.

I was first introduced to this product by my Grandfather. If your like me Grandparents are wise and really know what’s best. I purchased a new RV and the dealer installed 400 watts of solar and a cheap go power charger. I was within the first few uses and realized i needed a better controller. I have had several of the 3000I controllers and after changing this out I can tell you there was a major difference. The product easily gets a 5 star rating. I have on several Instances called the manufacturer to get help designing different systems. The knowledge and willingness to help has been over the top amazing. The customer service I have received from them is way more than 5 stars. Amazing company and great products.

This is a major upgrade over my old Go Power PWM controller. This controller allows me to set the bulk, absorption, and float charge voltage rates according to the battery manufacturer's recommendations and also set the time limit in the absorption mode. It also will default back to the bulk rate when necessary. This is my fourth solar controller used in various camping trailers and by far the most efficient. 12V/30A 400W MPPT Solar Boost 3000i Solar Charge Controller SB3000i I have used the controller for the last eight months. I also purchased the wall box (Blue Sky Energy SB2000E Wall mount box, 2.75" Deep, #720-0011-01 Sold by: Unlimited Solar, Inc) for the controller as my trailer wall was not thick enough for a flush mount. It works well also. The only negative from my viewpoint is that now Amazon is selling it for about $20 less than I paid.

After twenty years the old soler controller stopped working, I needed a replacement. I wanted the same brand, I did not were I was going to find one, I found one on Amazon. This solar controller works well, I still need to figure out how to use some of the new programable options, such as equalize the batteries. this new controller will handle more amps from the solar panels. The down side to it is that the size of the unit is larger (deeper) than the old unit. It won't fit into the wall, the R.V. walls are thin, but I will go to the hardware store and get some wood and screws, and make a frame for it.

So far I love this product. I only bought it because it fits my old flush mount controller cut out and for the customizable charge profiles and temperature compensation for my Firefly carbon foam batteries and didn’t think I would see a big boost in charging amperage. I see a BIG boost in charging amperage. Like 30% plus across the board from my old PWM go power controller. Under the best conditions with my old controller I saw around 8 amps. It is not uncommon now to be charging above 12. Awesome product

My BlueSky SB2000 finally started giving me problems after 16 years of being in service in 2 of our RV's. I replaced it with the 30001 as the 2000i is no longer in production (can you believe that?). Now what makes this solar charger better than most for me? I am a ham radio operator and have HF set up in my RV. The first BlueSky Solar Boot I bought has a the Yuma Arizona Hamfest in February of 2006, it produced little to no noise on my HF radio and continued to serve me faithfully for the following 16 years. So far, no noise in my HF radios both in the RV and in the house (my RV is parked very close to out house).

I've used a variety of solar components and after using this unit, I wouldn't use anything else. Left everything on the factory settings for now. I had a pwm controller and always had low power coming in and low power in the batteries. I put this thing in and now I always have enough power to do whatever I want. Excellent unit.

I finally had a chance to use this controller for the first time last week. I mounted this inside of my travel trailer and I have it connected to two 100w renogy solar panels. My past controller was a PWM controller that was okay but what a difference this MPPT controller made. I was able to keep my 12v AGM battery almost fully charged all week while camping. It was great to be able to see how the solar panels were doing and how well my battery was doing. It gave me the freedom to use power as needed in my trailer without worrying about draining my battery.

Works very well. Worth the price. High quality. Manage perfectly the charge of battery. Excellent design and good support to resolve problems by tech dept. Very reliable. I have an earlier version, still working after 35 years.

Two of these on our boat and one in our RV. Does exactly what it says it does. Great product

Facile à installer 😜

this MPPT charge controller was easy to connect, and works fine. it shows several different things including: Amperage IN/OUT, Battery Voltage, etc.
