Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Solar ouput->charge controller->batteries->variable load

 

To make understanding this a little easer. Think of electrons as water. They
flow where there is least resistance. MPPT controllers are not charge
controllers they are controllers of panel output. Therefore they have no
algorithms, They charge by voltage only. Because of this a load on the system
will look like a battery bank in need of a charge. The panels will then supply
supply about 90% of the panels capacity to the motor controller system.

Like I said, think of least resistance. Batteries have resistance so will not
get the power, the load (motor circuit) will. If more power is supplied by the
panels than the motor requires, if enough power is generated by the panels to
overcome the resistance of the battery bank, the extra power will go to charge
the batteries. Not the function of any controller, the function of nature.
