    Min. curr. rating

    Serial wiring:
    (PV Watt / Battery Voltage) x 1.25

    Parallel wiring:
    ((PV Watt / Battery Voltage) x 1.25) x Nº panels

    Mixed wiring:
    (PV Watt / Battery Voltage) x 1.25) x Nº parallel string series

    Min. voltage rating

    Serial wiring:
    (Voc x 1.15) x Nº panels

    Parallel wiring:
    Voc x 1.15

    Mixed wiring:
    (Vox x 1.15) x Nº panels in string
    All numbers are rounded up.
    Output Load Voltage = Battery voltage rating
    Max Solar Watts = PV watt x Nº panels
