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 ...

Found a few blurbs (Google) on this which all say a 60 cell can't get the 24v battery to its absorption stage in high temperatures, but as seen in the OP I had no trouble getting to 30v at 45C panel/20C ambient. I did not even try panel direct to see how high it would really go above 30.
Perhaps it depends on how high is "high" for temperature. Have to wait till panel temp is 50C and try again on 24v bank.
