Low Voltage Charge Controller Advantage—Smaller string size reduces power output loss in the event of inadvertent module shading
OutBack FLEXmax 80 Charge Controller
Lower Voltage Four-String, 3780W Array (315W Modules)
Shading of a single module aects one string, resulting in a
power output loss of up to 25%
Competitor Charge Controller
Higher Voltage Two-String, 3780W Array (315W Modules)
Shading of a single module aects one string, resulting in a
power output loss of up to 50%
