Does anyone know what would happen if i connect more solar panels to an All-in-One System than the system can handle specs-wise? No worries this is nothing but a thought, i am not trying to ruin any good system! I guess it would be more dangerous in an All-in-One System because i couldn't just replace the charge controller ifthe charge controller would break.
I keep thinking that solar charge controllers are rated for solar panels assuming they are in full sunshine?. In a 12v system: when a charge controller is rated for 50A, that means i can safely connect 600W of solar Panels. But unless the sun is shining, i don't think i am anywhere near the maximum of 50A the controller could handle.
If i knew the weather would be cloudy most of the year, wouldn't it be possible (or even wise) to connect maybe 100W or 200W of solarpanels more so that i can reach a higher amperage when the weather isn't perfect? I bet mechanisms could be found to prevent the max amperage to go above 50A and components to be damaged.
I keep wondering if there is a way to incorporate the cloudy weather into my thought processes. Seems smarter to calculate for the weather i actually have and not for the weather i would like to have
