        "note": "Charge-controller current = array watts ÷ battery voltage, then × a 1.25 safety factor (NEC) for irradiance edge-cases — a 700 W array on a 12 V bank is ~58 A, so rate the controller at ~73 A (round up to the next standard size, e.g. 80 A). An MPPT controller lets a higher-voltage panel string feed a lower-voltage battery and harvests more in cold or low light than a cheaper PWM unit. Mind the controller's own max PV voltage.",
