Charge controller recommendations
I have a small solar charging system consisting of two 12v 75w panels wired in series and a failing cheap MPPT charge controller. I may be acquiring another identical panel too. I'm currently leanin...

Yet no actual PWM models are suggested. As if all PWM is all the same.
YES!! I totally agree! Aside from Salvo's link below, nobody has really suggested a PWM controller. Especially one that would be considered reputable, yet cheap enough to be a viable alternative to MPPT.

That doesn't sound right. You mentioned Voc = 21V. Connect two panels in series and you get 42V, not 12V.
As mentioned before, your best bet is to connect panels in parallel and use a pwm controller.

As for the 6 volt comment, if they are in series, they should be equal to a 12 volt panel.
