  • Page 4 2. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION 2. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION -2.5 Charging Stages Introduction Compared with conventional PWM controllers, the MPPT controller can make the most of the solar panel's max. power and therefore provide larger charging current. Generally speaking, the latter can raise the energy utilization ratio by 15% to 20% in contrast with the former. As one of the charging stages, MPPT can not be used alone, but has to be used together with boost charging, floating charging, equalizing charging, etc.
