22a is max with 12v panels, 11.8 is max with 24v panels.
That is the max rating. I realize the wattage is not equal but neither is the output.
why 30a at 12v vs. 22a at 24v? I just take these things at face value. Otherwise the magic smoke comes out. The current limit appears to be controlled by the heat sink temperature. (see thermal protection p6) I assume if the controller is over driven too much it may burn out before thermal protection limits the current.
Morningstar has a max amp limit regardless of voltage.
