MidNite Solar says the production on its KID MPPT charge controller has started. This 30 Amp, 150 Volt charge controller is MidNite Solar’s most anticipated product since the Classic. The KID is loaded with features that include MPPT, lighting control, reverse polarity protection, and supports battery voltages of 12V, 24V, 36V, or 48V. This medium-sized controller is perfect for boats, RVs or any battery based system.
The standard and marine version of the KID is available in black or white. The Standard KID is delivered with a wall-mount adapter and retails at $399. The KID Marine versions will include a boat mounting bracket, a Battery Temperature Sensor, two and a half feet of ½” flexible conduit, two 90 degree conduit adapters, and two straight conduit adapters. The Marine versions retails for $499.
The KID is in limited production momentarily waiting for ETL listing and gearing up for demand. MidNite Solar anticipates being up to full speed mid-2014. Backlogs may be experienced within the first few months.
