Lost and now FOUND a good thing
Only thing most is not all of use will never use the 24, 36 or 48 volt battery bank. We are stuck with the traditional 12 Volt systems found in automobiles and our series parallel combination of 6 VDC batteries to make up the needed 12 VDC
"I am still stuck here. You jacked up the size of the array so it has more total Voc? so how can that 150v input limit still work?"
The size of the array has very little if any to do with it's Voc - remember earlier I could have several different 600 watt arrays all with different Voc values. Take a look at the manufacturers specification sheets for operation at 12 VDC and then at 24 VDC you will notice the array wattage doubles, Twice the operating voltage you need twice the wattage on the input to still obtain the rated output current of 45 amps. The max input before destruction is still valid and a specification that should be noted before purchase of the controller
