Rich solar has a 200 Watt solar kit. I’m looking at the 800 watt kit in particular.
Something seems very wrong with this setup.
Wouldn’t 800 watts in series produce over 100V and damage the controller? Can their SCC really handle 800 Watts in this configuration? In this configuration, wouldn’t you also be missing out on additional Amp output if the controller only outputs 40 Amps? Can the wires even handle this?
If I want to buy 4 200 Watt solar panels, would you recommend a better SCC and if so, which one?(Victron preferred)
