Solar charge controller selection help needed
I am looking to put in a solar system that will produce about 30 amps per day. I choose a semi-flexible 135 watt panel made by Sunpower which meets my capacity needs. My only problem is choosing t...

With the TS-45, I believe the array voltage must match the battery voltage. So it can't take 48V array input and use it to charge a 12V system.
From my manual.
• Do not connect a solar input greater than a nominal 48V array for battery
charging. Never exceed a Voc (open-circuit voltage) of 125V.
• Charge only 12, 24, or 48 volt lead-acid batteries when using the standard
battery charging programs in the TriStar.
• Verify the nominal charging voltage is the same as the nominal
battery voltage.
