Robin’s CornerThe engineers at MidNite Solar have been designing renewable energy disconnect boxes for twenty years. The majority of the existing disconnect boxes were designed by us. We think we have finally got it right. People in the industry have spent years teaching us what is important to them. Our E-Panels take care of the over current and disconnect requirements. This allows you to devote more of your hard earned money to the performance components such as PV panels, power electronics and batteries.

CLASSIC: MOST POWERFUL MPPT CHARGE CONTROLLER IN NORTH AMERICA
Aug 24, 2010 -- MidNite Solar’s “Classic” charge controller’s first production run of circuit boards are on order. Robin expects production to begin early September. When asked Robin stated “We have been beta testing the Classic for almost two years now and feel pretty good about its reliability and performance.”
MidNite Solar has successfully completed ETL testing on the Classic. ETL testing confirms that the Classic is the most powerful MPPT charge controller in North America.
MidNite is doubling its factory floor space for adequate room to build the Classic. They also are purchasing surface mount equipment to do all board assembly in house. What this means is the Classic will be the only real “Made in America” charge controller. All other major controllers are either made outside the US or at a minimum have their boards built outside the US.
The Classic beta program for industry professionals will begin along with limited consumer sales. Industry professionals will be allowed to participate in the beta program. This beta program is not for consumers. There are strict guidelines that must be met in order to qualify. Please contact robin@midnitesolar.com for details.
