You don't have to keep the PC connected after configuration is done unless you want to monitor your solar charger(s) continuously. Luckily, you can connect most EPEver / EPSolar charge controllers to your PC (Windows only), and use EPEver's downloadable software to both do the configuration and monitoring. Although you can buy the MT50, a display with buttons that gives status and configuration options, it is quite cumbersome to work with. EPEver / EPSolar charge controllers are usually just plug-and-play, and some, like the Tracer-BN series, comes without a display altogether.
