| drummerdimitri:
I have a cheap solar charge controller that I bought to have some fun with solar power however I am not sure if it is a PWM or MPPT model. Is there an easy way to tell them appart? Is the charging PWM'ed? If so I could not see anything other than DC on my scope. |
| digsys:
Not really, there is a huge variation in design techniques for both. Can you take a pic and maybe write down some of the "important" looking components. ie MPU / controller / FETs? / Inductors / caps |
| radiolistener:
if it's cheap, most of all is that this is usual PWM controller. |
