Okay temporarily forget I mentioned 14v
The point is 360~390w of panels on a PWM controller, (you keep ignoring I said PWM)
Can never produce 30 amps , a single 120~130w panel produces just over 7 amps , even if we round it up to 8 amps, 3*8=24 ...that is the max the panels will ever produce
How is it a 30 amp charge controller , if you are restricted to a max input of 24 amps (actually less) PWM does not convert like MPPT
That is the point either it can handle 30 amps thru put ..aka in from the panels drop the voltage to charge voltage and pass thru 30 (the rated amps) OR it can't , why the stated restricted limit if it can honestly carry the rated amps
I don't think I can make it any more clear than that
Others understand
