Morningstar makes one of the better charge controllers and the one that I like has ethernet access built in. It takes up to 150 V from the arrays. They also have their new Mega Controller that will do up to 600 Volts I don't know of any WISPs that are using it. We have sites that we have 2x Morningstars feeding our battery sets...

Looking at determining the maximum reasonable voltage range for a new product I'm working on.

I'm wanting to include a reasonable input for measuring solar panel voltage (a common request).   For those who are running solar arrays to charge a DC site (not grid-connected), I'm wondering what type of array voltages you're running.   I'd prefer the Voc figure since that is worst case, but even the nameplate voltage (i.e. multiples of 12V) would be useful since I can kinda infer the Voc from that.

I suspect some of you are running rather high voltages (>100Voc) on your arrays, not sure If I'm going to be able to measure that high, but would like to get a feel for what the reality is.
