I have a Victron 150/35 mppt controller
According to the data sheet for this controller
Max allowable Voc = 150V , Max Scc = 40A "Nominal " power @ 48V = 2000W
Meaning you could essentially throw 6000W at it if you could find a way to configure your panels so the array does not exceed the Voc and Scc as the fine print at the bottom of the data sheet says " controller will limit input power " .
Anyway. I have 12 x 330W panels and 48v Lithium Battery
Panel specs Voc = 40V, Scc = 8.8A
I wish to wire them as follows , 4 strings with 3 panels in series per string , and the 4 strings paralleled into the controller .
This will bring. total Voc of the array to 120V and, total Scc to 36A at its max.
These figures are below the specs for max input limits for the controller, however , this means the array will be producing around 4000W at maximum power in full sun which is double the nominal power stated , but will be running at nominal power or less in morning, afternoon and overcast days which is what I'm aiming for without having to install a second controller , panels are cheap !!
What exactly does "nominal " mean in this scenario ?
To simplify my question. will this arrangement be ok or will I cook my controller in full sun when the power peaks ?
I have read through other threads on this topic but can not seem to find a definitive answer .
