So there is a major problem with these type of BMS.
Any thoughts?

I've read about those, but at first glance it seemed like a really shitty solution compared to just using a decent Victron or similar.He mentions an Electrodacus, but would it protect against that too? Sure... because you're forced to use low voltage on the most primitive solar charge technology around. No more MPPT and you're roped into 60-72 cell panels in parallel only.
Electrodacus does not have to be used with their PWM controllers. I will be using it with a Victron MPPT which the Electrodacus can cntrol.He mentions an Electrodacus, but would it protect against that too?

Electrodacus SBMS0 cannot be exposed to a dangerous voltage. Electrodacus has no charge or load voltage travelling through it.Use it to control a Victron, and you need to concern yourself with the exact same thing (though MPPT failure chances are diminished). Should the MPPT fail in the same way, the Electrodacus will be subjected to voltage much higher than 24V. Are you confident that it can take it? I'm not, and since it can't even open a circuit like a FET BMS, it will allow the array to overcharge the cells in exactly the same way.

This would be very interesting.This is not a very difficult circuit, and if someone has an urgent need for it, I'll try to work it up. There may be some industrial DC voltage limiters/crowbar protection circuits available
