  • Have a charge controller that can handle the total current supplied by the PV source. An MPPT charge controller is capable of of accepting varying voltages from the array and converting them into current at the proper charging voltage for the energy storage system. The maximum current of the PV source can be calculated by dividing the power rating of the PV source by the DC system voltage as in the chart below. Larger systems often require multiple charge controllers operating in parallel. The next largest charge controller size should be chosen unless the charge controller manufacturer permits oversizing the array. Common MPPT charge controller current ratings: 10 A, 15 A, 20 A, 25 A, 30 A, 35 A, 40 A, 45 A, 50 A, 55 A, 60 A, 65 A, 70 A, 75 A, 80 A, 85 A, 90 A, 95 A, 100 A.
