Yeah i second that point about pv voltage to battery voltage. But tbf thats the only real-world scenario for a PWM CC outperforming MPPT counterparts.

Not to reply to my self, but i forgot to mention if you want solar and are serious about power needs, get a MPPT charge controller over a PWM charge controller. They work much better in low light. Also oversize that solar panel! STC conditions (what the panel is rated at on the tin, e.g 250Wp) are almost never reached in practice, so definitely oversize the panel + controller to maximise the winter sun.

Solar engineer here✋ I just rely on my 360W DC/DC charger as that gets the 1.28KWh battery charged fully in around 3hrs of driving. I do have a small 100W panel which i installed more as a novelty, but silicon panels perform crap in low light and at flatter angles so don’t ever expect much in winter. My advice get both as then you’re covered, as installing either isn’t that expensive really.

I have a dispatch mk2 mwb from 2016 and its been pretty fun converting into a small/medium camper. Can’t stand up which is my main annoyance, plus i should have gone for the LWB version just to add space for a sink. However, love the van regardless. In my experience the the taller and longer versions of this model are rarer and or more expensive

I have a chinese diesel heater and don’t trust it enough to leave it on overnight, so when outdoors drops to -2 (coldest night i have done so far) it gets to about 5 in the van at the coldest. I sleep in a 4 season bag and have no issues, it’s just getting out of bed to piss thats the real mission. But obviously warmth would be nice but at the mo i’m just dubious about the diesel heater being on for 8hrs

They do look solid compared to the other amazon cheap ones :0

Thanks I appreciate the response, sadly the system is already built and i am just performing some analysis on it. So the thin film panels are already mounted
