I read about MPPT vs PWM.. OK I understand..
But cost wise and from what I read here on this site, is a 250watt 24V panel from solar blvd and a PWM 30 amp controller is a cheap option.
$170 for panel
$50 for controller.
This controller accepts 48v and lower
I have two 12 volt 75 Ah batterys..
Who has this set up?
What amps are you generating?
If you understand PWM and MPPT why are you mating a 24v panel with a 12v battery and low cost PWM controller?
You need MPPT for this or you lose half your power.
I have three solar blvd 225w in series putting about 100 volts into the Morningstar TS-MPPT-60.
