I've been working like a dog getting this RV ready and I'm starting to wonder, WHEN does the fun begin???

Anyhow, here is what I understand the MPPT controller to do.

"MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) checks output of PV module, compares it to battery voltage then fixes what is the best power that PV module can produce to charge the battery and converts it to the best voltage to get maximum current into battery. It can also supply power to a DC load, which is connected directly to the battery."

So the 24 volt panel gathers up and much power as it can and feeds it to the controller, which decides the best way to pass it on to the batteries.

Hope this helps?

Thanks, and that's WAYYY... cool!
