Jesse,
I have an FM80 on an array of 2560 STC; all off-grid. The only issue I have
is that when my batteries are full, and I have essentially zero loads, and
the sun is shining away, my XW will disconnect and my house will lose power.
I have to reset the system to get back online. This, I'm pretty sure is not
a malfunction of the FM80, but rather an issue with the XW, just haven't had
time yet to fully trouble-shoot. I think it's a matter of reconfiguring the
XW charging setpoints. I haven't had any direct issues with the FM80 with
this STC "over power" set up.

Hello,
I'm working on bid for a system using the FM80 controller. The specs for
the controller say the maximum STC wattage for a 24V system is 2500W. The
array I want to use has a STC wattage 2550. I called outback to ask if
this was "close enough" today and didn't get a reply (holiday weekend?!) I
also called the distributor I buy my parts through and they said it
wouldn't be a problem.
I don't want to lose warranty of something happens. I don't want to use
different modules. I don't want to have to add another controller and
split up the array just for 50W.
Thoughts?
Have a good holiday weekend!
Jesse
