Q: Classic MNGP (display screen) says "HYPER VOC" -Why?
A:First, what is Hyper VOC? Hyper VOC refers to the non-operative VOC safety zone over and above the maximum input voltage. Your classic charge controller has this safety feature (shut off) to prevent damage to your system. This indicates that the input voltage has exceeded the operational voltage of the Classic. If this is happening now and then on rare occasions when it is really cold, then it is normal. If this is happening all the time this indicates the PV array was wired for too high a voltage. Contact your solar installer. Prevention is key to this, please also feel free to use our String sizing tool on our website to help calculate this in your system!
