Who has Solar/ what controller/panels?
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 fo...

The $170 (250w) 24v panel gives 8.7 Isc (short circuit amps)
The $159 (140w) 12v panel gives 8.4 Isc so it is about a wash through PWM.
The increased voltage should only help in shaded or partial sun conditions such as early and late or partly clouded.
Just make sure the panel size is OK without getting too close to shade items such as vents or antenna.
If you need more power in the future you could swap in an MPPT and get 15 amps instead of the 8.7.
