Cheap China Solar Controller Failure
For a couple days been noticing higher than the 14.6 voltage,.....going to 15, and even 15.5,....I knew something was not right. The next day it was showing 16, then quickly went to 17+.......I quickl...

Yes, it is hard to keep the wording straight, but if I ever say heat screws with MPPT I mean that is because the MPPT controller has the buck converter and the PWM controller does not.
The key is the PWM controller keeps passing the same amps to the battery whatever the panel temperature (within reason) but the buck converter has a lower output (in watts) with higher panel temperature. Now with the lower watts, and the same battery voltage, you get fewer amps.
