Solar Charge Controllers compared to MPPTs (Maximum Power Point Trackers)
1. Standard Charge Controllers Standard charge controllers are simpler and more affordable devices used to regulate the voltage coming from solar panels to safely charge a battery. They work by rapidly switching the power on and off (called pulse-width modulation) to control the charging voltage. For example: A 12V battery is typically paired with a solar panel that has an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of around 20V....
