Guys,
Bear with me on the following questions, I am going to ask.
Jim,
Thank you for the info on your Canadian 220w panel, do you have more than 1 hooked up, if so how are your panel wired?
The average elevation where we spend our time at is right around 5000' average and the lowest temps we have observed (so far) is MINUS 22* for several days with 4+ snow on the ground and the wind averaged 10-15 mph and 1 day it was over 50-60mph gusts.

Ca Traveler,
How did you come up with your info that my panels are 43v x 4 = 172v going into a 150v MPPT CC.
The spec's of MY panels are,
4-Canadian SC6P-220watt Panels with the following spec's,
Pmax=220W
Voc =36.60V
ISC =8.09A
VMP =29.30V
Imp =7.52A
Voc-coef =0.1281V/C
Noct =45.00C
15A fuse rating/series,
Minimum low Temp of Minus -22* and average High 100*
The MS calculator shows different info, for 2 panels in series for/per 2 strings and 2 strings in parallel, it states that this is a perfect setup, if I am reading and UNDERSTANDING this info.
I am not arguing or doubting your/anyones info, OK,
but attempting to understand how the info was arrived at. :?
I do NOT know what "derating" means when you guys are talking about it for these panels. :@
Tia,
Don
