The BlueSolar series of charge controllers are some of the latest and most efficient MPPT controllers available. The BlueSolar 100-15 controller is based on a Freescale MC9S08AC32 40MHz MCU, can handle up to 100V 15A PV installation, hence then model name. This allows up to 400W of PV on a 24V battery setup, which is pretty much for such a relatively small controller.

Schematic
The following is a partial reverse-engineer of the power stage of the charge controller, no logic or support circuitry is included.
Monitoring
The RS232 port on the controller, when connected, outputs a continous stream of the current status and state of the system.
- Panel voltage, mV - measured direct after the screw terminal
- Panel power, W - product of ..
- Battery voltage, mV - measured on directly after the screw terminal, before the fuse
- Battery current, mA - sense resistor, delta pv/load current
- Load output state, ON/OFF - output switch state
- Load current, mA - sense resistor
- Yield total, kWh - accumulated overall
- Yield today, kWh - accumulated one day
- Maximum power today, W - peak power output achieved
- Yield yesterday, kWh
- Maximum power yesterday, W
