Solar Charge Controller
Looking at solar and seeing different options for controllers. What's the difference between PWM and MPPT?

Maybe I am Crazy But......
Are you sure you don't have that backwards? and that the wire size is much more important with PWM controllers than with the MPPT because of the higher voltages with the larger panels that use MPPT?

Hi,
One example is wire size. He doesn't understand that, for a PWM controller, any wire that is capable of legally carrying the maximum current from the panels is adequate.
It does, however, matter a LOT if an MPPT controller is to be used, because in that case voltage drop is important to avoid.Vixen21 wrote:pianotuna wrote:

Because it is mostly a rant.Vixen21 wrote:
Why not just read Handy Bob's Blog, it taught me a lot.
What information does he rant about that is wrong or incorrect?
