In most grid codes it is stated that overvoltage should not exceed 1.05 to 1.15 of the nominal value. Overvoltage is a common issue in networks with Photovoltaic (PV) generation. PV Plants generally

Solar panels are current limited devices and the maximum current in their specifications will always be the Short-Circuit Current: Isc. However, this is an amount that is determined at very specific light and

Overpaneling refers to connecting more PV amperage than the SCC can use. Any SCC can be overpaneled. Current must be drawn, it''s not pushed. Having more available does not hurt

However, many experts agree that you can safely overpanel with excess current as long as you always stay under the voltage limit of your power station or charge controller - even in cold weather conditions.

Overpaneling by 30% is purely a logistics and waste of resources limit; you can easily overpower by 1000% for all I know, as long as you don''t go over the Voc hard limit. Hi John in my

When over-paneling, the solar charge controller will limit the current it delivers to its maximum rated capacity. This means that even if the solar panels can produce more power, the

There are two limits, when determining the maximum array size that can be connected to an MPPT: Both values are specified in the datasheets of all our MPPT Solar Charge Controllers.

Though a solar panel charge controller is a small component of your solar system, it protects the huge amount you invest in buying batteries, ensuring safe and proper charging.
