MPPT Solar Charge Controller Efficiency Comparison

- This is the start of my journey into comparing some charge controllers on the market. I have some positive experience using the 60A PowMr MPPT charge controller but many people rave about the Make Sky Blue brand as well as the EPEVER brand. The latter makes sense in that it isn't actively cooled, this is an advantage in maintenance as a heatsink will never fail! As opposed to the bearings in a fan.
The focus of this video is how efficiently these controllers, using the same set of solar panels, take solar energy and convert it to charging energy for a battery. The same 395W Jinko 49voc solar panels and 200AH 12.8v battery are used in all of these tests.

"I consider this an opportunity." Instant thumbs up.
I use the smaller epever in my diy solar generator. It's awesome!!!
You're back!!
Informative video, I recently purchased the Powrmr (60 amps) charge controller, and its been serving me well on my 1200 watts pv setup.
Man that controller is big I didn't know they there that big .... Keep it up brother
Thanks for the review with the efficiency% comparisons. Can you compare those vs PWM in a table as well?
Thank you very much, sir.
Great vid thanks
Hallo; welcher ist zu empfehlen? Wir haben beide (PowMr und Epever) gekauft und Probleme mit Beiden > beim Einstellen.
Running 30a and 40a epever looking for long term efficiency.
Make sky blue manual clearly says that you have to keep the array voc at 1.5-2 times the battery voltage for beat efficiency.
Good job. Keep them coming.
Not only the passive cooling make the Epever weight. Also the quality and dimensions of the toroidal inductor! Epever use very large and robust toroidal inductor. And they cover all the toroidal inductor with resin to cooling better. Epever mppts are extremely well assembled. No doubt.
Thanks man.
Can you do the same comparison in a 48v setup?
i got epevers biggest model. 100Amp 200v. It is huge! :P
Can i use 800 w 12v panels on the 60A charge controller? Since the controller is 95 percent efficient, and the fact that the panels are not 100 percent efficient.
hey man @335, we can see the input to the charger controller is 398 watts, and your shunt says 371 watts, making the efficiency 93.3%. am i missing something? where did you get the 356watt number from? same with @
Slug are a big problem around here. They did burn 2 of my MakeSkyBlue and likely will have done the same with PowMr. Adult slug enter by the pretty large gap between the connectors terminal and the aluminium box on the right side. Then, they go die on the copper coil... that is shorted after that.
That EPever is huge. I have a used 2500watt array and need to get some charge controllers as my morningstar pwms are rated 30v max and panels are 37v. We had 5 days of no power and could of been better if my array was hooked up.
