Wow! My degree is in electrical engineering and I have a pretty good understanding of electrical stuff. I think this is the best video I have ever seen describing the difference between a PWM and MPPT solar charge controller. That is saying something because there are some bright people on KZread talking about the same stuff. Good job!

@Peter Evans Perhaps you should go buy a brain somewhere ? It must be hard running around without a brain. Does it echo between your ears?

Just getting into boat sailing and your explanation of the chargers was very useful, however I think you could easily do without the background music, your audio doesn’t need jazzing up. Thanks again.

Mate, you've explained this regulator mystery very well. Thank you.

I just upgraded my small 200 watt system to a MPPT charge controller, and what a difference!! It turns on way earlier in the mornings and shuts off just after sunset. It charges up by batteries in about half the time as my old PWM did. Real world conditions, real world testing. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.

The clear explanation of the differences between MPPT and PWM is just what I needed. Thank you!

I'm glad I watched this. I am buying an RV and didn't realize how much stuff you should know about power, water purification, gadgets, etc. It would be overwhelming without videos like this.

You are 100% correct in using an MPPT with a portable solar panel or blanket to maximise the output. On my small garage (fixed hobby) solar system, it was easier and slightly cheaper to just add another 100w panel rather than upgrade to MPPT. The extra panel was about $125, about $50 less than a new MMPT.

A very nice, concise and understandable comparison with a quite satisfying technical explanation for a first time solar enthusiast. Well done. Thank you!

Thank You Very much for this video, I have been searching all day for something that broke it down the way you did, it makes me glad I went with an MPPT charge controller!

i have watched so many videos about these... yours is the one that clicked to me... so much easier to understand

Great video. Awesome explanation of how it works to someone who has trouble understanding this sort of stuff - like myself. Cheers

I found your video while looking at a different one. You explain PWM and MPPT a lot better than the other one. I still need to gain more understanding of watts, volts and amps, but your video is a great start.

Could you please do a video on wiring up solar panels solar regulator to a dual battery setup with your control box :)

Again, thank you for these informative uploads. Brilliant.

Yup, answered my question as to charging 12v systems with 24v panels! Thanks!

You know what, its the best video explaining MPPT charge controllers. I watched so many videos on this subject, particularly on channels referring themselves as 'expert' on solar systems, this one beats them all. Thank you

This is the BEST explanation of what normally could be a very complex description of how these converters work but also their differences. Again, many compliments.

Great stuff guys! Best video about this comparison in KZread! Well done boys!

Best video so far, packed with detailed information

Best description and demo out there. Good job.

Brilliant. Very well explained and demonstrated. Worthy of subscription.

Amazing video… I've been watching videos about solar stuff for years and never understood like I do now. Thx a lot!

Have been researching setting up a 12v system for camping and another 4WD youtuber was recommending MPPT over PWM, but never went into deatils as to why. Thanks for showing me the "why" in easily understandable terms. The graphs laid it out clearly for me.

Thanks for a great video. I fully agree with all your statements as it is what I have also found. The plus side for MPPT just gets better the bigger the difference is between panel Volts and battery Volts. If only more people would look at the results during the actual test.

Nice comparison, very thorough! thank you!

Watched this video around midnight and then straight to eBay and ordered the same MPPT in the video. Best explanation on MPPT and PWM ever.

great explanation, thank you. Went away for a quick trip with a 200w solar blanket, 85ah battery and a 15ltr Waeco fridge, had three days of heavy cloud where the battery went flat. Now I know why PWM and solar blanket flat on the ground. Will be buying a MPPT regulator and angling the solar blanket.

Blankets are also a bit shit. If you can get a folding panel they are usually better, but bulkier and heavier.

Thank you so much. That was a GREAT real world comparison!

That's a really clear explanation of what those charge controllers do

Absolutely the best explanation I've heard about these charge controllers! Well done Brother! & thank you!😁

thank you. Well explained, especially for someone who knows very little

Wow. If I was able to understand the explanation, anybody can do it. Great job 👏

Thank you for the clearest explanation I've seen on YT!

Well done this is well presented and understandable to us common Joe’s. Thanks

Keep up best information about solar

Great video makes it very clear on what’s needed 👍

Thanks for the video. Very good explanation of the two setups. You have a new subscriber.

Good presentation! Very enthusiastic!!

With your 120W solar blanket I am consistently getting 25 to 30% more power output from the PWM compared to all of the big brand MPPT charge controllers I’ve tested. Why would that be? Isn’t meant to be the other way around?

I just scored a 1 year old 160w panel and a un used still in the box Mppt controller for $50 Can wait for frosty beers on the beach🍺🏄‍♂️

Thanks for this !

Good vid, man. Every little helps.

Absolutely brilliant video

Very Good Explanation

Thank you ... very clear explanation

Your the only dude on utube that said what the initials stand for in both controllers. Bloody good vid for beginners.

Thank you very much for the comparison now i know what to buy 😁

Thank you. i am going to return the pwm controller that i bought few days ago and get the mppt…thanks again for the great video😊

thanks for the video. i wish more people talked about the specifics like this. i would add that another benefit is mppt controllers normally allow for wiring your panels in series, so you can get the same watts, but decrease your amps and have cheaper cables so you can place the panels farther away from your site, maybe even out of the shade, or leave the amps the same but increase volts, therefore increase watts.

That's true I have another 48v system, I use 3 mppt charge controllers each connected to 8 solar panels 4x250w + 4x250w . I use a 700ah forklift battery which are 2vx24=48v , I have 2 inverters which I alternate. I use fridge, 42 inch TV , microwave , kettle, water pumps and lights this is the 5fth year with this system and still going on I'm connected to national grid but I do not use it so I'm almost recovering my initial cost I also have a 2000w wind turbine which supplements charging during windy periods. I was experimenting possibility of planting off grid and have now archived my goal so the way forward is mppt charge controllers

Really helpful and simple advice!

Hey I love your channel I'm gonna go with the one you mentioned the last 1 I have 200 W solar powered panels on my truck they both put a 100 W out I haven't learned how to hook everything up yet but I was looking at that PTFI can't say a word anyways I'm still watching you and I still like it I'm learning a lot from you now I know which 1 to buy I don't always get to watch you but tonight I'm glad I clicked on you

Super well explained and thank you for just getting right down to it and skipping a cheesy intro!!

Great tutorial.. thank you

Great video.

Good explaination

very informative video well done.

I like that panel you put on the windshield of the car foldable and portable

Yeah starting in solar. Will go for mppt now.

great video - an extra note for anyone using radio kit, many PWMs will emit interference, MPPTs shout be better by design..

Secondly. is the battery connection a 2way operation. For me at least a quick vid on how the wiring actually works would be handy. Love the professionalism you guys brink to the tube.
