I think the entire thing is a mute point in regard to that video
It's not MPPT vs PWM
The title clearly says MPPT vs shunting
A shunting controller turns on and off it diverts power to the SHUNT ( a big resistor) to lower the voltage
MPPT is oh so far advanced above shunting , as crossbow is above clubs
So yes it's going to show a big increase..
But shunting is not PWM
He evens talks about the shunting controller turning on and off
Look how tiny that thing is
It's the wrong comparison
Sorry Don..You picked the wrong video
We're having this big discussion about MPPT gains and series panels
And that video is comparing ancient shunting technology
