mppt or pwm An opinion from Victron
Hi all, Victron, which makes high quality equipment, has charge controllers. At the end of an overview they give their description of the differences between PWM and MPPT. They do not support it wi...

Without measuring the panel output power, your time was wasted writing all that. :S

A. 230w (two 115w) total Isc of 14.5a to battery, batt voltage 13.5 = 196w
230-196= 34w wasted or 34/230 = 14.8% wasted power with PWM all season
B. One 230w and MPPT 15.5a to battery, batt voltage 13.5 = 209w
230-209 = 21w wasted or 21/230 = 9% wasted power with MPPT at 16C ambient, 44C panel. (April)
C. 230w and MPPT 13.5a to battery, batt voltage 13.5 = 182w
230- 182 = 48w wasted or 41/230 = 21% wasted with MPPT at 25C ambient, 51C panel (July)
