Help me choose a solar charge controller please

Help me choose a solar charge controller please
My setup 300Ah battery bank (12V) Solar panels (18V) 300W
Placement of panels not ideal but good enough. Panels are vertically mounted.
Help me choose a good quality charger controller. I would like to maximize my charging time and optimize my panel supply. I am keen on MPPT, but just cant find one I like that is within my budget. Is the PWM really going to be a poorer choice for my 12V 300W system?
Please advise? Where to purchase as well would be great as well!

Wrong forum, perhaps?

Try browsing around the Modding Forum. You will not be able to post over there until you get in your first 5 posts (and the server updates at :25 past the hour).

Take a look at the Texas Instruments bq24650 MPPT controller. I've used it successfully for a couple of clients.
