Most panels are designed to operate with 24V controllers

I have several 18V panels. These might work with a 12V controller. but at the expense of losing 30% of the wattage.

I have several 25V panels. These might work with a 24V controller, but the batteries would never reach float voltage.

Panels have since (mostly) standardized around a Vmp of 30V. Even so, a PWM controller can't make use of the entire output...
