    According to the test, the MPPT controller can raise 20%-30% efficiency compared to the PWM controller. (Specified value may be fluctuant due to the influence of the circumstance and energy loss.) Figure 1-2 Maximum Power Point Tracking Technology In actual application, as shading from cloud, tree, and snow, the panel may appear Multi-MPP. However, in actuality, there is only one real Maximum Power Point.
