direct connect, PWM and shunt will all get the battery to 14.2v in the same period of time (let's ignore efficiency differences)! the shunt turns off and waits while the battery discharges, direct connect keeps charging till the operator disconnects, PWM takes the batt up to some set point (generally above the shunt 14.2v set point) and then we all know what it does from there!
What if the video had used a 12.000v batt, 48watts vs 70, that's 45% gain.
