Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for an MPPT Charge controller, and I've come across a PowMr model on AliExpress that's significantly cheaper compared to what's available on Amazon. I'm really curious if anyone has experience with either AliExpress or the PowMr products. Have you used their inverters before, or do you have any shopping tips for AliExpress? I found it with a coupon that brought the price down almost 50% less than Amazon, which seems like an incredible deal!

I’ve used a different line of MPPT charge controllers and they are all usually just rebranded versions, so keep that in mind. Personally, I use a 120V version that works just fine. If you want reliable performance, make sure to check the specs carefully. Here’s a link to one I like: https://a.co/d/3GJ11F1
I’d be cautious about AliExpress, especially right now. I have a few items stuck in customs, and it’s a hassle. I'd recommend sticking to more reputable retailers for important electrical gear, just to be safe. Sometimes you get what you pay for, and I don’t trust those cheaper options to be reliable.
Honestly, I’ve heard that buying electrical equipment on AliExpress could be risky. You never know what might happen—could even lead to a fire hazard. Stick to well-known brands and buy from trusted sellers, whether it’s Amazon or another recognized site. I wouldn’t even purchase this stuff through Amazon unless I was sure of the brand.
