what is the "Voltage" ?
again this is MPPT which will convert the volts to amps
for increased output
something that DOES NOT happen using PWM
all the cheap controllers are PWM, even the the 'fake' mppt are PWM
there is no 'overhead' conversion to more amps

Yes this is on p8 of the TS MPPT manual:
To comply with the National Electric Code (NEC), the current rating of the controller must be
equal to or greater than 125% of the solar array’s short circuit current output (Isc). Therefore, the
maximum allowable solar array input to the TriStar MPPT 150V controller for compliance with the
NEC is:
TS-MPPT-30: 24 amps Isc*
TS-MPPT-45: 36 amps Isc*
TS-MPPT-60: 48 amps Isc* *Solar array Isc @ STC
My array Isc is about 8 amps and 675 watts. Maybe another reason to go series.
