This MPPT controller has built in Gigabit PoE switch and remote 
monitoring.


Up to 20A. Requires 48V Battery configuration and 48V Solar 
Configuration.

It's kinda new so you probably haven't heard about it.

Buy for the future. A little money spent now will prevent a LOT of
rework later. Nice thing about MPPT controllers is that you don't need
to match the panels to get best performance, you can just add what is
the best $/performance panel later. But you can't if you are out of
amps on your controller. Also KISS with fewer add on boxes.

All the mppt charge manufacturers waqnt to imitate the other guy
instead of building what's needed. (Strange how all the controllers
even look alike)(OEM?) suspect there is only one or two real
manufacturers and the rest are just labels?

I only need 4-5 radios, do I need a 60 amp service for for under 30
watts usage?

And the Ethernet is 10 Mbps Half Duplex and fills our Netonix switch logs
full of Ethernet errors and is very slow to update the web pages from their
built in server.  But you can check charging current and battery voltage
remotely and they do have a log built in.

There is another device you can get from them that communicates with their
charge controller that will do SNMP and maybe will work better.  It's all
pretty pricey for what it is, but ours has been reliable after updating the
firmware.  (Which requires a certain type of USB-RS-232 converter)
