Goodbye Classic Lite!
All Models of Classic Lite
Discontinued
We have officially discontinued the production of our Classic Lite 150, 200 and 250 Charge Controllers. Limited quantities are still available while supplies last.
People looking for a solar based replacement should look to the Classic 150, 200 and 250 SL series of charge controllers.
As usual, we will continue to support and repair Classic Lites. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions!

wow! :o Are they that much of a problem? I'm happy with the one I have, just a few issues but not major ones.

It makes sense, adding new product(s) and pruning out some dead wood / less productive products.
I recall some folks being sold the Lite and not understanding the difference which led to support calls
I have no inside info but I am assuming they just don;t sell enough of them to offset the resources they consume?
I have to trust they made the decision for good reason and have not pulled a boner like when
Coca-Cola changed the original Coke into a Pepsi clone.

Making room 4 the new inverter/s:-) :-) :-)
Well if it was just the display that would be one thing. But the missing RTC probably caused a bit of grief, and the missing fault beeper, less so. Local app / networking needed to be stronger in order to adequately substitute.
But I also have no regrets with the lite. Blackbox now runs totally nice and ill probably add Classic configuration into it someday, just for giggles.
Yeah, the big problem is that without the MNGP remote, it is VERY hard to know what is going on
in a system and diagnose any issues.0
The "SL" version has an MNGP so it will be kind of a replacement but not exactly.
