[pvusers] Lightning & MPPT



Dear PV Users:

I have a Off-Grid system, it was put together 4+ years ago.
I have 3 PV arrays, each of which went into a C40 charge controller.

Lightning hit a couple of weeks ago.
It had to be a righteously close hit, since 1 CF bulb (on 110V side) literally
blew up.  A Square D QO 50A breaker broke, and Ialso lost all 3 C-40's.

Which brings me to my question.

I'm interested in changing to MPPT for my charge controllers.

Any recommendations or ideas?
Feedback from actual users would be appreciated.
