I have the same idea. Use this Board in conjunction with an Arduino (say) and make an MPPT controller. That is exactly right! I want to use the ESP32 as the loop modifier. Want to work on this together? I paid $23 for mine just to get a version with all ICs marked and I now have them. TL494, LM358 and a small onboard 5V buck to power itself. Feel free to purchase the cheaper ones that do not have ICs marked. My current problem is that the board is smaller than I expected it to be and with my vision I need a good magnifying glass to trace it. Are you also interested in tracing it? I have some pictures and @ltopower sent me much more detailed pictures as well
