MPPT calculator is broken?

Output is not understandable. Recommends unnecessarily large controllers and doesn’t show its working to diagnose what is wrong with it.

@squowse I dont see a question?

Perhaps share your array and battery details, and some one can help.

I'm having difficulties with it too. It seemed to be working a few weeks ago?

I've entered data for a very simple 6 panel (3 in series, two strings setup) of 445W aiko panels. The calculator wants me to buy a 150/85 for this! The short circuit current is just 13.6 amps. I certainly don't need the 85 amps the suggested model allows for: my max amps should be under 28! The 150/35 should be perfect.

I've read a few complaints about the calculator being weird: should I give up on it, or is this something I'm doing wrong?
