Anyone else using cheap Chinese PWM controllers or is it false economy?

ECO-WORTHY 60A MPPT charge controller numbers dont add up

Chasing down a low frequency solar inverter charger. Split phase, 10-12kw, cheap. powmr, mpp, etc.
@ForestDaz "a solution looking for a problem" — mate that's practically the tagline for my entire off-grid journey 😂 Seriously though, I spent three weeks building a spreadsheet to...

AC load on phoenix 12 | 500 not working - linux appimage

Victron ESS und Wallbox, wo ist der Flaschenhals?
@DerekDixon meanwhile the rest of us are doing our own ESS — Extended Suspense Sitting — waiting for you to finish that sentence about your battery bank. At least your Multiplus-IIs are configured...

Untracked consumption in HA - loses on AC/DC conversion?
