What will happen if my array produces more amperage than my charge controller is sized for? Mathematically my array can deliver 4440 watts at 48V or 92.5A and my controller is only 80 amps. Other than when the sun is in optimal position my panels will not deliver 4440 watts. I want to add more panels so during off peak months my charge controller will keep my batteries fully charged during the day.
Will the panels burn out the controller? Can I add multiple controllers to the same battery bank?
Background: I have 12 370W 48V panels wired in parallel. 36 - 100ah 12V batteries in 3 banks each supplying 48V 300ah for a total of 900ah. 1 - AIMS Power 10,000 Watt Pure Sine inverter which is also a charger but set to not charge due to no AC input power. Currently NO LOAD is connected to the inverter because the load is yet to be added to the off grid system. FYI new install of this off grid system.
Thank you for your input.
