Yes, I plugged in the panel specs to the form and it was ok. Then I ran the high end extra output I had just gotten and it was still was ok. It looked like too many amps though so I called Midnight Solar and they affirmed it but said I should go from my 80 amp breaker to a 100amp or my charge controller could cause they also said the unit will clip some of the power off if needed so the controller can be over paneled and hold up::::)))))))I read the result wrong. 2s 2p works fine for 4 x 445 watt panels.

I am thankful that you and others got me to look more closely at it and learn much more!
I’m good to go?
