⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Wilson - Off-Grid Cabin Owner
"I installed the Tracer MPPT 30A in my remote cabin back in February 2024, and after 7 months of continuous use, I can confidently say it’s the best solar controller I’ve owned. The MPPT technology makes a noticeable difference—even on cloudy days, my lithium batteries stay charged. Setup was a breeze thanks to auto-detection for 12V and battery type. The USB port is a small but game-changing feature for charging phones and lights directly."Purchase Date: February 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Martinez - Full-Time RVer
"After upgrading from a PWM controller, the efficiency jump with MPPT is real. I bought the Base Model (12V) in November 2024 and have been using it across desert sun and Pacific Northwest overcast—performance remains solid. I love that it supports both AGM and lithium; I switched to LiFePO4 recently and the controller adapted automatically. The Modbus interface lets me monitor voltage and charging status from my tablet, which gives me peace of mind when boondocking."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Park - Small Farm Operator
"We use this controller for our irrigation pump’s solar system, installed in January 2025. It’s been working flawlessly for 6 months now. The rugged build holds up well in dusty, outdoor conditions, and the 3-year warranty gave us confidence in our investment. I’d give it 5 stars if the manual included more detailed Modbus setup examples, but otherwise, it’s reliable and efficient. We’re seeing nearly 30% better charging than our old unit."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lisa Chen - Solar Integration Technician
"I’ve installed over 20 of the Pro Model units for small commercial clients since May 2024. The dual-voltage support and 99% efficiency are major selling points for hybrid systems. One client runs a marine research trailer—salt air, humidity, and constant vibration—and the controller hasn’t missed a beat. The API-enabled remote monitoring is a huge plus for clients who want real-time data. LDSolar’s technical support responded quickly when I had a firmware question. Highly recommend for professional deployments."Purchase Date: May 2024 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Marcus Reed - Home Energy Hobbyist
"Built my own 12V solar setup for the backyard shed in April 2025. Chose the Tracer MPPT 30A because of its lithium compatibility and USB output—perfect for running LED lights and charging tools. Installation was straightforward, though I had to consult the FAQ to fully unlock the RS485 monitoring features. After 3 months, battery life has improved dramatically. Only downside? Wish the USB port was rated for 3A, but overall, excellent value for the tech packed in."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
