shipping (was $135 US shipping for me,
$210 shipping which seems a bit absurd when other items aren’t much more with free shipping lol
At this point I’m unhappy with my Epever AN50 cutting out on equalize so I probably should be shopping for something to handle 150V PV but this is only 100V. Plus I need to depend on it day by day and that’s an unknown quantity.
Maybe as close as you will get. Uses a torroidal transformer
I do like that feature
The 100V PV limit seems slightly annoying for a 50A mppt; they have this chart:
…and I’m assuming the 24V machine is different.
Maybe I’m safe as my highest voltage has been 94V at below zero 0*F but that just feels like it’s cutting it close.
I could merely replace the charge controller with
This item from Ampinvt which supports the array voltage.
Alternatively, and preferable at the moment, is to simply use the
1000W / 80A version of the MPP Solar PIP-1012LV-MK for $632 with its 115V PV max volts, or the less attractive
“500W” / 40A version that says it will take 102V
* max PV for $425.
*They rate 102V VOC but they don’t state whether that’s VOC at 77*F or an ambient adjusted 102V.
The VOC qualifier without a temperature is ambiguous and confuses me- if companies would merely say “102V maximum voltage” that’s an absolute. Easy to understand.
