Simply put, the Classic series includes a number of pre-configured add-ons which not only add it is versatility, but makes the listed cost of the charge controllers well worth the investment. All charge controllers in the series include arc fault and ground fault protection, free web monitoring, a graphics panel and solar, hydro and wind modes. Its protection rating is one of the best in the industry, and is a welcome benefit for those who are investing with expensive backup systems. Over-charging batteries can not only damage your individual batteries, but significantly decrease their respective life-times. Proper battery monitoring is imperative for proper function of your battery backup system from charging, to harvesting the energy. Midnite’s Classic charge controllers offer the perfect all around solution for both proper use and overall system monitoring. Web monitoring further ensures that homeowners can plan their battery energy use, and make the correct decisions for future energy use.

The Classic series and its sister charge controller series fit a wide range of solar panel specifications that make them one of the best all in one solutions for battery backup systems. To properly size your charge controller, home and business owners can utilize the easy to use Classic Sizing Tool, which will give you a recommendation and overview of your charge controller performance. To fully utilize the tool, we recommend using the battery and solar panel specifications sheets which can be found at the bottom of all product listings on our site. Using the correct information in the sizing tool will save you a great deal of money in returns and future replacements.

Needless to say, charge controller references can be difficult to understand, however we believe that with the sizing tool and easy to understand installation instructions makes them an easy and powerful solution for any solar energy application. While numerous other technologies in the solar industry are changing, Midnite’s charge controller has remained relatively unchanging and still rises to meet the needs of changing solar panels and inverters. While off-grid arrays may also benefit from customizing their own pre-wired systems, we have found that Midnite’s prewired systems also have remained relatively intuitive to the needs of off grid arrays. This can be due, in part, to their use of the Classic charge controller in each of their pre-wired systems. If you are looking to have stability for your system for future use, the Classic series is well worth taking a look at, and we are sure that you will not be disappointed by the results.
