MPPT controllers can be buck/boost topology designs and can operate over a much wider range of panels voltages than a PWM buck only topology. This equates to more operating time which ultimately increases system performance.
The Eco-Worthy controller I am getting says it's converter type is 'buck'
Rated system voltage 12V/24V DC
Max open circuit voltage of solar panel 15-42V DC
Max solar panel power 300w 12V
Max output current 20A
Max discharge current 20A
Over discharge voltage 10.2-12.5V(+/- 0.2)
Restart voltage 10.2-13.5V(+/- 0.2)
Constant voltage (Over charge )voltage 13-15.5V(+/- 0.2)
Float voltage 12.5-14.5V(+/- 0.2)
Converter type Buck
Converter efficiency >96%
Max increase efficiency >43%
Tracking efficiency >98%
Precision of clock +/-50S/Month
Charging algorithm PWM 3 stage
Stand by power consumption <15mA 12V/ <25mA 24V
