Can A PWM Solar Charge Controller Be Swapped Out With An MPPT Solar Charge Controller
Question:
Can I order the go power weekender system and upgrade the charge controller to the 60amp mppt?
asked by: Susan
Expert Reply:
Yes, once you start getting into the 150w to 200w or higher range MPPT solar charge controllers are up to 30% more efficient than a PWM controller. Anything under 150w you're fine to just save your money and stick with a PWM controller as you'll see no added benefits from an MPPT.
Since the Go Power Weekender ISW RV Solar Charging System # 34282183 you referenced is 190w you'll see an increased efficiency in the system when used with the Go Power MPPT Solar Charge Controller # GP54FR.
The installation of this controller is virtually the same as the standard PWM that will come with the Weekender. You can also install the Bluetooth Dongle for Go Power MPPT Solar Charge Controller # GP94FR to monitor your system and change the controller settings from your smartphone or tablet using the Go Power Connect app.
