Starting sometime in January in AZ, I'll be collecting off-grid data on 300W flat on the roof versus 100W portable on the ground. Also trying at least two different PWM controllers. One is single stage, it will stay at 14.x, temp compensated. The other is a newer version of the same model, temp-compensated 3 stage with bulk, then 3 hour absorption, then float. Will be interesting. I will be using a meter that tracks AH in and out. I hope to post a daily log like Mr. Wizard did for a while.
If anyone wants to send me any other controllers to test, let me know. I'll mail them back no later than mid-March. I'm not expecting anyone to send me their controller, but if you want to, I'm game. There are "tests" on youtube that are not worth the time it takes to view them. Even here, there is a real lack of comparative data, I think.
