I don't know. People were freaking over PWMs so I got a MPPT.
Seemed to make sense due to high panel voltage- But the PWM would likely have worked near as good.
I can tell you with all confidence: that, with solar and 'experts' opinions:
The way you mount panels will always be wrong
The type or amount of panels will always be wrong
The controller will be wrong
The wiring will be wrong
The fusing will be wrong
The batteries will be wrong
Your settings will definitely be wrong
To justify, they swear they saw an entire campground electrocuted, then burned because they didn't do something their way, and you're definitely going to die, too. Imaginary doomsday scenarios seems to be the default way to pee in some one's Wheaties at CRVL.
And, of course, spending LOTS of money really seems to correlate with doing things right! LoL
So, PWM controller:
