If you google "wellsee mppt fake" you will find a number of people indicating that the Wellsee MPPT controller is in fact NOT an MPPT controller. It does howecver appear to funtion as a normal controller. To quote this site, which I have used and trust but have no connection with, On the information I have found I personnaly would not expect the Wellsee MPPT controller to work as an MPPT controller however it should work as a normal controller, in which case I see no point in purchasing it.

Found this on my web trawls. How to fit MC4 connectors WITHOUT a crimping tool. Fairly basic but may be of use if only a few connections are to be made. MC4 No crimp tool required Good luck

This may be of use to someone. It is a few pages long word document showing how to make a MC4 connection. MC4 connection instructions - WORD DOC These come from navitron.co.uk. it might be worth asking the original question on the navitron forum here navitron Renewable Energy and Sustainability Forum

I'm also interested in the answer to this, any info gratefully received. Don't these MC3 and MC4 connectors require an expensive specialised crimping tool? Or can they be connected without the tool?

Thanks for the analysis and link Justme. Using the link you provided I do get the immpresion that these appear to be a bit home grown and that if I purchased one I would in fact be acting as a field tester for an early production model. Whilst I wish the company well in what they are trying to achieve I think I will pass on the current model. As the dragons might say good luck but I'm out.

On paper this looks interesting. a bit sparse on info though, appears to be a new co. Price looks good ebay 36a 500w mppt controller

Mine is doing exactly the same thing, ied Barrus Shire. Appears to clear itself when warmed up. Tried a bit of wd40 on the linkage, not sure if it helped or not

Happy to second the recommendation for Paul Smith of Narrowboat Surveys

Sad to see I used to live in the west end

Another one to add to the Leicester list of demolished facilities and landmarks. Step 1- let them run down Step 2 - say they are run down and will cost to much to repair Step 3 - Sell land on to a developer Pleased I left Leicester

I would use Paul Smith of NarrowboatSurveys for any boat I wanted surveyed. He covers the Tamworth, Nuneaton area. Used him during my build and was very good

Congratulations Well deserved for the hard work you put in As an Ex Leicesterite I know some of the locals like to set you a challenge at times. Again good work
