-Due to their design, [[electrical:solar:charge_controller#pwm|PWM]] and [[electrical:solar:charge_controller#shunt|shunt]] charge controllers will very rarely allow the panel to run at max output for given conditions.  The lower the battery voltage (Vbatt) the lower the panel voltage (Vpanel), therefore the lower the power output.((Vpanel * ~Imp = P))
+Due to their design, [[electrical:solar:charge_controller#pwm|PWM]] and [[electrical:solar:charge_controller#shunt|shunt]] charge controllers will very rarely allow the panel to run at max output for given conditions.  The lower the battery voltage (Vbatt) the lower the panel voltage (Vpanel), therefore the lower the power output.((Vpanel * ~Imp = P))  The output can be increased somewhat by [[electrical:solar:pwm_tweaking|tweaking battery voltages higher]].
 [[electrical:solar:charge_controller#mppt|MPPT]] controllers can run the panel at max output when needed, but are much more expensive.
