MPPT - What is Maximum Power Point Tracking worth?

Info

MPPT Summary

  • MPPT works better at low or high temperatures
  • Mentioned advantages are 10-40% or 20%
  • Looks like 400W MTTP controller can be had for slightly over $100
  • For a small system like my two 30W pannels - just buy a third panel for 50% more output
