mppt vs pwm

Pretty much all modern controllers use high frequency. The higher the frequency, the smaller the magnetics become. Costs go down.

There is high frequency PWM and "low frequency" PWM. The "PWM" 12v controller uses low frequency PWM to "control" when it is stopping voltage from going any higher after it starts controlling.

I suppose the "MPPT" controller uses high frequency PWM to keep at the MPP during Bulk, and "low frequency" PWM during Absorb and Float same as a "PWM" controller does---but I don't know.
