24 volt solar panel recommendations?
Is this panel decent? Or is there reason to buy one of the slightly more expensive panels from Solar Blvd? Friend has Blue Sky controller capable of using the 24 volt panels. https://www.solarbl...

1) The controller limits the output would be a better description than "clips". It is nothing like audio amplifier clipping where the excessive power flattens the AC waveform.
2)The controller measures voltage and amperage acceptance through the output. When the batteries reach a certain level of charge (say 80%) the controller outputs a lower voltage than the bulk or absorption stage. Some cheaper controllers have time-based charge settings where the different stages of charge are controlled by duration. My understanding is the Blue Sky operates in the former situation.
Some controllers are able to be programmed as to output voltage and duration of charge cycles.
