Title: Classic 150 and Classic lite 150
Post by: Lesmar on January 07, 2014, 07:46:50 PM
Would someone please tell me what is a difference between Classic 150 and Classic lite 150.

I have ordered on line Classic 150 and they send me Classic lite 150.  This is my first controller and also first getting shafted.
My options are

1.   Update to Classic 150. If it is possible.
2.    Put on shelf and purchase new Classic 150.

you can see I am new to solar.

Thank you for your help.

Yes if you really did order a Classic you were taken...  no fear, the MNGP is the difference, and a Lite can become a regular Classic and will work with any MNGP ( display) Unit.

Have you contacted your vendor?

Here is a link to the part"

If no satisfaction, check out these guys for your part.    Their prices are quite competitive.

I believe that the Lite also doesn't have Arc-Fault protection.

What does the box say that it is ?  Lite or regular 150 ?

Yes that is the big question. Did the Vendor screw up? Please look at the sticker on the side of the Classic as well as the end of the box are they both labeled Classic Lite?

Who is the Vendor?
