PWM input voltage, Xantrex C40 test video
here is the Video link, the fluke is plugged directly into the Solar panel drop wiring before it enters the controller right above the panel input protection fuse, that i use for a disconnect just c...

bare with me for a moment and consider this
according to all the arguments being presented, the controller does not go into PWM and voltage control until bulk set point is reach, at which time amps should be tapering yes ? no ?
my meters show that voltage control commences while amps are still rising as the voltage comes up, and once panel voltage exceeds set point, the amps continue to rise or maintain while set point is maintained and panel voltage rises
now according to all arguments presented..panel input voltage can not rise, unless output voltage is controlled
i'm not debating how voltage is controlled
i'm only saying control takes place (in my case) before everybody else says it should,
control takes place as soon as panel voltage exceeds set point
even though batteries are NOT charged, amps are NOT tapering, the batteries are taking more amps than before control commences
control is IN EFFECT before vtabs ? float condition is reached
