Category: Solar & Battery

MPPT output current is a battery side check. It is different from the PV input voltage and current limits.

Enter the array power allowance and charging voltage, then compare the estimated output current with the controller rating.

## Inputs and controls

* Array rated power (W). Allowed range: 0.01 to 100000000
* Conversion efficiency (%). Allowed range: 0.01 to 100
* Current allowance (%). Allowed range: 0 to 200
* Battery charging voltage (V). Allowed range: 0.1 to 2000
* Controller output current rating (A). Allowed range: 0.01 to 1000000

## How to use

* Enter array rated power, conversion efficiency and current allowance.

* Enter battery charging voltage and controller output current rating.

* Select Calculate result. Read the returned values alongside the assumptions below before copying, exporting or acting on the result.


## Why use this tool

The separate output check helps identify which controller specification is being compared.


## Before relying on the result

This compares output current only. Independently verify PV Voc in cold conditions, input Isc, MPPT range, allowed array power and battery limits. Passing output current is not approval.


## Tool limitations

This compares output current only. Independently verify PV Voc in cold conditions, input Isc, MPPT range, allowed array power and battery limits. Passing output current is not approval.

## Questions

### Does passing output current approve the PV array?

No. Cold Voc, input Isc, MPPT range, permitted array power and battery limits still require review.

### What should I check before using MPPT Output Current Worksheet?

Check Array rated power, Conversion efficiency, Current allowance and Battery charging voltage. Use the exact units shown beside the controls and replace any example values with your own inputs.
