60 Cell Panel vs 24v Bank MPPT and PWM UPDATE
UPDATE--results with MPPT posted 1 June. Got a chance to run this test today with no clouds but a slight haze up high so not quite 1000 insolation, showed as 8.93Isc vs rated 9.0, however that did ...

I've never done a 24v test with my Eco-w's. Also at 12v the much dryer air and altitude make for a lop sided test in my opinion. That said, my 250w panels easily hit 18.5a and 226w. In series they are a bit less impressive at 48a and 660w.
If BFL had a "respectable" controller he could run both of his panels in series against the two in parallel on the 30 to see if a higher voltage would give the MPPT something to work with. :P
It looks like I wont be getting any more comparison test in with the Eco-w and Schott 230w. I never updated the ad but someone wants to buy it this weekend and I wont have sun until Sunday. Oh well, I need batteries more than test. lol
