Testing the ??MPPT ?? CMTP02 Controller UPDATE
UPDATE--more test results in the "oh no" thread--a new meaning for MPPT? Reported initial results today at the end of the "Oh No MPPT" thread
Forum Discussion
Roy, don't get mixed up between this test of this particular controller and how solar works in general. The idea here is just to see if this controller is a fake or real MPPT.
So far, my tests have not shown that for sure AFAIK, but indications are that even if it is MPPT you can't use it in normal MPPT situations like running a 230w 24v panel, since we don't know its Voc rating limit.
You might be getting confused because my set-up right now is with not enough solar for the size of battery bank I have (for various reasons) so don't take that as an example of anything.
I wanted to keep the results in the other thread to keep the advice I got on how to test, with the results I get.
Mena just find RJ's thread on "oh, no" --it is all his fault after all! We are talking big bucks here! (not the buck inductor, those money kind :) )
