The four numbers on the label

Every panel has a sticker on the back with these. The station cares about the first two most.

VocUnconfirmed
48 V
Open-circuit voltage

The highest voltage the panel makes, with nothing plugged in. This must stay under the station's limit, including on cold mornings.

IscUnconfirmed
11 A
Short-circuit current

The most current it can push. Stations cap current; over the cap you lose watts, or on some brands it is not allowed.

VmpUnconfirmed
41 V
Voltage at max power

The working voltage while charging. Must be above the station's minimum or charging will not start.

ImpUnconfirmed
9.8 A
Current at max power

The working current while charging. Vmp times Imp is roughly the rated watts.

Open-circuit voltage by morning temperatureone panel, -0.30%/°C, typical value, not published for this panel
55.0 V-10F
53.4 V10F
51.6 V32F
50.2 V50F
48.0 V77F

Why it matters: a station's input limit is a hard number. Two of these panels in series on a 10F morning make 106.7 V. That is over a 60 V input, so only a station with a higher limit can take two in series.
