No, sadly that is just a PWM controller falsely marked as MPPT. I have the 20a version and can confirm that in real life. BTW you show the 5a version which is inadequate for amps anyway, even as a PWM.

It does work well as a basic PWM controller though. High set point is 14.4v
The very cheapest "real" not fake, MPPT is the Eco-Worthy at $102, then the Tracer at $140. After that you pay double or more.
