Same goes for the solar30 pwm. There is no fixed 14v charge voltage. You picked that number out of thin air. It has no basis in reality. I can say without any hesitation, charge voltage can, and will, range from ~13v to ~13.8v while bulk charging my 430Ah bank, at 45a, starting from a 70-75% soc. Sustaining only 2/3 of that current will not, and cannot raise Vbatt higher than that (unless the bank is not healthy).
If it's a standard rating you're looking for, then I would tend to agree it would be nice, but I don't think it's necessary. As stated earlier in this thread, it is up to the individual to educate them-self, and design their system accordingly. And this is why I ask questions about things like de-rating panels and such... so that I am aware of the possible things that can go wrong, and how to get around those problems, if and when they present themselves.
