    (Standards: According to IEEE Standard 1562-2007, the sizing for Battery and PV array based on amps
    and amp hours, as the solar array is sized to recharge the battery as the load consumes energy from the
    battery and Peak sun-hours are to be used for the array power production calculations.)

    Solar Charge Controller Rating = Total Number of PV Module x ISC x 156%
    Solar Charge Controller Rating = 5 x 4.95 x 156%

    Solar Charge Controller Rating = 107.328 A


    (Standards: According to NEC article 680.8 (A)(B), the calculation for the wire sizing and correct ampacity
    for the conductor is based from the standard formula in which the wires from the PV modules to the inverter
    must be able to carry 156% of the short circuit current (Isc). This 156% comes from multiplying 125% twice
    the first 125% accounts for the continuous duty that is used as a safety factor whereas the second 125% is
    a factor that accounts for the extra current that PV modules might deliver.)
