Is it possible that there was a lightning strike nearby, and the light flash created the high max power readings?    I'm calculating almost 1400 w/ m2, (3075/2205 x 1000 w/M2) which is high, but not insanely high.  They used to use flash testing to rate modules, so a fairly instantaneous flash can do it.

Compadres,

I have 4 identical arrays of 3 strings of 3 Solarworld SW 245 mono (2010 model) to FM80s. When designing, not exceeding 150 voc was critical. No record temp data available. Location ~ 4,000' Pacific Northwest. Recently replaced an FM80 with 6 blown FETs showing max power at 3075 watts! This from a 2205 watt array into a 24 volt battery. Max historical voc is ~120. My guess at record low temp is -10F. tc%/ºC MPP doesn't get anywhere close. What would the WM2 need to be in order to achieve 3075 watts on a 2205 watt array? BTW, 2 of the four original chargers are still working fine and one of them also shows 3075 watts max power. Edge of cloud effect against snow field at bottom of array?

Cheers,

Bruce Fiero-RMI
