Hi,
using a 150/100 Mc4 charge controller, can I put 2 different strings on a different face ie, 1 x east 1 x west, or will they drag each other down. only using 4 panels 440W each 2 strings of 2.
Cheers

If the strings are in different directions or different shading you really need 2 separate MPPTs or a model with dual trackers, the 150/100 is a single tracker. All the MC4 inputs are connected together. As you surmise, the lowest performing string will drag the other down.
