Hi
I have a steca 1515 for sale, I used it for a short while then my van got written off, my current van use it's ebl for the solar panels so the steca is surplus. If your interested I'm looking for 75 pounds for it plus the postage.
If you look at MPPT regulators remember that all brands don't perform the same.
I have spoken to a member on here who has tested a Victron against a cheap chinese MPPT regulator and seen a large difference in performance.
I also read up on some information on various boat and yacht forums where members have tested various MPPT regulators and most found that cheap import MPPT regulators did perform better than most standard PWM regulators but did not perform anywhere near as well as branded MPPT regulators. The down side of the good regulators is the price.
The downside of the "good" regulators is the name the price and still most likely from china but with a BIG profit margin.
Third party hearsay is not very scientific

To answer the OP's question - I have the Steca PR1515, and have used it with a 130W panel for a couple of years now. No problems. It works well. In spring and autumn, when we do our travelling, there is more than enough sunlight to recharge our batteries each day.
