Oh No ! I bought a Mppt Solar Controller
I don't believe it ! I bought it and I don't really even want it ! I was sure this would go for more than 12 bucks. Fooled me, oh well. Whats w/ links not working ?

I think all you can get with PWM is the Isc of the panel, whatever its voltage is. So to get that 13-14a from your 230w "24v" panel, you still need your MPPT controller AFAIK.
However, I don't have a clue about it getting over Isc (of 8a) when it is "in PWM mode" if it can. Perhaps it is still in MPPT, and not really in PWM when it is "in PWM" but the MPPT isn't doing much? Not a clue.

You have to remember the altitude I camp at. 10.000 ft has the opposite effect on my panels as it does on my generator. Even in Denver with the smog, I could see above the rated output of either of my panels in a short circuit test, then again that rating comes from sea level. Up in the clear air at 9-10,000 ft the ISC jumped 50%.
