I don’t have any experience with it myself but a quick Google suggests it’s edible: https://www.wildedible.com/bittercress
Hairy bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta) is a really unfortunate name for a wonderfully tasty edible weed that is perfect for foraging. It’s a wild mustard, so its bitterness is more spicy-hot than bitter, though it’s not nearly as hot as some other members of the Brassicaceae family. A more appropriate name would be Not-so-hairy and pleasantly-mild spicycress. Like all brassicas, Hairy bittercress is an excellent natural source of vitamin C. Its flavor profile is similar to watercress but bittercress is more readily available. It makes an excellent substitute for micro-greens. Use Hairy bittercress as a main salad green, garnish, or in a sandwich. The roots are also edible and can be blended with vinegar to make a sauce or dip that’s similar to horseradish.
I presume you’ve tried to eat it but dislike the flavour?
That page says it can be invasive and best to harvest it by removing the whole plant, so I guess if you don’t like the taste probably best to remove it before it becomes too established. But if you like the flavour I guess it won’t be a problem dealing with it!
Having said that most weeds don’t do damage to soil but rather their appearance is a sign of disturbance, and weeds will grow until the soil improves and other plants become established. So if it’s not causing you any problems it’s probably doing the soil some good having it growing.
The charge controllers are likely fine (I am going to put some into practice soon, but full disclosure I haven’t yet) however as with most products from Chinese sellers their stats are a little too optimistic. Most Western countries will build a safety buffer in to their products (so a 10 amp controller will work all day at 10 amps, and maybe up to 11 or 12 amps) whereas a Chinese 10 amp controller can probably only peak at 10 amps for a few seconds with additional cooling, and may die prematurely if it sits over 6-7 amps for too long. You see the same thing with inverters - western ones are sold by their continuous rating, like “500 W (1 kW peak)” whereas Chinese ones sell by the peak rating it can only reach for a second or two at a time, like “1 kW inverter” and then in the fine print buried in the listing “500 W continuous rating”. Occasionally there are exceptions but these seem to be mistakes, as the majority of stuff is advertised with the biggest and best numbers even if they aren’t really reachable.
So as long as you’re aware of this and you over-spec everything by a good safety margin then you should be ok. This is assuming you choose a product that is genuine, and not a fake such as a 10 amp controller with a 30 amp sticker on it, of course.
If you’re relatively new to solar and don’t know exactly what you want and how to figure out whether your Isc is within limits, the Voc has a good safety margin to not blow up the controller, etc. then you may find it cheaper to buy from a local company, because although you will pay more you should only have to buy once. If you go with Aliexpress you may have to buy three or four different models until you find one that works the way you want, and then quickly go back and buy more of them before they change the internals. Fine if you’re building a bunch of larger systems with dozens of controllers, but it will probably work out more expensive for a small system with only one charge controller total.
