Solar-Panel to Controller Loss
Much has been made of the lower losses on the panel to controller path with MPPT because the amps are less. So once you have your loss measured, how valuable is it to improve on that if you don't lik...

Yes, if pwm can do better than mppt, the mppt controller will drop out of tracking and connect panels directly to battery. Now it's operating exactly like a pwm controller.

Is it your contention that pwm cannot do better than mppt, because an mppt cc IS a pwm controller, and therefore the mppt, as a pwm controller cannot possibly do less than any other pwm controller?
If so, would an mppt cc automatically drop out of tracking/bucking, if it could put out more current in pwm? Or would it continue in mppt as long as Vbatt told it to? (I hope that makes sense?)
