What Type and Size Charge Controller to SelectSelect Correct Mppt AmpTypical Mppt Amperage SizesLarge solar arrays can generate power, but the MPPT controller will limit the output. It would be inefficient to have panels delivering 80 A of current to an MPPT controller with a 40 A output current rating. In this example, it would be better to have two 40 A MPPT controllers controlling the 80 A input current from the solar panels. The input vol...See more on solvoltaics tdsolarshop.ca
