The Eco-w's new VOC limit
The last Eco-w 20a controller came while we we camping. The first thing I noticed was it now comes in a printed box with graphics and the info on it. The second thing I noticed is on the box the VOC l...

My understanding of temperature compensation is that it changes the voltages depending on conditions. Higher voltage for cold, lower for hot. The Eco-W clips amps when it is hot, not voltage. It's too bad too because looking at the one I have opened up on my desk, the sensor is on two small wires and could easily be extended to the batteries.
Any info on how much it clips (reduces would be a better word?) the amps vs the ambient temp where the controller is mounted? I hope it doesn't do that in the shade where it is 25C in the compartment like mine has often been this past summer.
I thought my loss of amps was all about panel temperature and the voltage coefficient. If it is (also) the controller, then what to do? Maybe it needs a thermostat controlled fan like a converter has?
