Eco-Worthy MPPT and Solar30 PWM Test
Did a quick backyard test of my two solar controllers using the actual trailer wiring etc as intended for camping with solar later this month. Got some blue sky, no clouds. The Eco-W on the 230w p...

Following along to see what happens with your experiments.
What I hope to do is compare, proportionately, my results using PWM that I got in the same place at about the same time to see if MPPT is any different in real life.
That will also cover the claim that MPPT does better in the shoulder hours but not so much mid- day, and all that. We'll see.
I will be pretty annoyed if my 230w/MPPT set does no better than two 115w/PWM would do. I will be even more annoyed if, as I fear, the temperature vs voltage thing makes the MPPT do worse than the PWM !! Oh well, soon find out. :(
With two set-ups, one MPPT and one PWM, I also have the means to do some side-by- side comparisons if I get the urge.
