Configurable PWM solar charge controllers

Because of the lower price point of PWM controllers they are often less configurable than MPPT controllers. Still, PWM controllers with configurable setpoints do exist.

Morningstar TriStar PWM

The TriStar TS-45, and TS-60 PWM professional grade controllers are configurable with a cable.

Note that the MPPT variants are also called TriStar but the model numbers are TS-MPPT-45, TS-MPPT-60, and there is also a 30A TS-MPPT-30 unit for which there is no PWM counterpart.

It is rebranded as the MISOL B series at parity or slight markup.

It is also rebranded as the Victron BlueSolar PWM-Pro 10A, 20A, and 30A at 2x the price. The MT-50 is rebranded as the Victron Remote Panel for BlueSolar PWM-Pro almost 3x the price.
