I was reviewing my system, that I haven't hooked up yet. My four 158 watt panels. each put out VOC 42.75=171v. my FM60 manual says to stay below 150.
VOC is unloaded? So if my batteries are hooked up? Wouldnt that make for a load? I also have a diversion load controller hooked up to the batteries for my wind power. So wouldn't any excess power just be diverted and keep the volts in a safe range? If the panels are putting out over the 150 v and the batteries are full the controller would shut off and the VOC would be more than the controller could handle? I guess I got hung up on the fact that VM is 31.67=126.68 for the system. I do get that the diversion controller needs to be hooked up before the panels or the wind power is started. Does someone here understand this better than I do or at least can add to my thinking.
