Usefulness Of MPPT Technology
This isn't a trick question. I wish to take a "Short Course" in the reality versus hype of MPPT control... Users who have MPPT and can report real-life experience... Let's say I get a pair of panel...

Hi mex,
The cable from the panels to the controller need to be large, too, for mppt to work well.
In theory, 360 watts / battery voltage = input from the controller to the battery bank.
Losses on a 36 volt system at the controller may run as high as 5%.
The better the "smarts" in the controller the more energy will be harvested.
I have seen 17 amps from 256 watts on a system voltage of 33 input to the controller. The controller is a Blue Sky 3024di (so one generation out of date).
.I don't see 17 amps very often unless I run the inverter/
