What nonsense. The controller turns the panels OFF at the appropriate
time. It doesn't manufacture power from thin air. I wouldn't buy his
product because he lied to me.

IIRC, Practically A Sailor did a test and review on those units, and
verified the manufacturer's claims.- Hide quoted text -

Yes,

Have the exact model controlling 4 x 75 watt panels. Great unit -
Definitely get the IPN Remote display and battery temperature
monitor. Exellent customer service - remedied my situation with class
and speed.

Difficult for me to tell you if 30% is accurate, but I have read
outside verification of the technology, and IMO, even without the
"boost" the product is worth every penny.

I would recommend.


I friend has one of their products, perhaps the same one. He live at
anchor and relies on 4 large panels for most of his electrical needs.
The last time I was aboard he did a brief demonstration, turning it
off and back on. IIRC, the panels were putting out about 8 Amps
without, and 10+ Amps with the boost, for a 25+% gain. I've been
strongly considering getting one; I would certainly do it if I was in
need of a controller, or had a large number of panels.
