The charge controller must be able to charge your battery banks voltage. Most SCCs can charge different voltages, depending on the brand. For example Victron charge controllers can charge 12v, 24v, 36v and 48v. You tell the charge controller what voltage to use when you set it up based on your battery bank.
While most portable power stations have solar charge controllers built-in, typical 12V batteries like the ones in RVs do not. That''s when it''s important to add a solar charge controller between the solar panel and the battery. Consider a scenario where you have a 200W solar panel with a working voltage of 20V and an amperage of 10A.

Open circuit 20.88V voltage is the voltage that comes directly from the 36-cell solar panel. When we are asking how many volts do solar panels produce, we usually have this voltage in mind. For maximum power voltage (Vmp), you can read a good explanation of what it is on the PV Education website.
With solar panels, we can charge batteries, and batteries usually have 12V, 24V, or 48V input and output voltage. It is the job of the charge controller to produce a 12V DC current that charges the battery. Open circuit 20.88V voltage is the voltage that comes directly from the 36-cell solar panel.
If you know the number of PV cells in a solar panel, you can, by using 0.58V per PV cell voltage, calculate the total solar panel output voltage for a 36-cell panel, for example. You only need to sum up all the voltages of the individual photovoltaic cells (since they are wired in series, instead of wires in parallel). Here is this calculation:
Nominal voltage is an approximate solar panel voltage that can help you match equipment. The voltage is usually based on the nominal voltages of appliances connected to the solar panel, including but not limited to inverters, batteries, charge controllers, loads, and other solar panels.
Consider a scenario where you have a 200W solar panel with a working voltage of 20V and an amperage of 10A. To charge a 12V battery system, you’re going to need a charge controller to step down the voltage and regulate the current to prevent overcharging.
Three primary terms commonly used to describe solar panel voltage characteristics are Voc (open-circuit voltage), Vmp (voltage at maximum power), and Imp (current at maximum power). Voc represents the maximum voltage output of a solar panel when no load is connected, i.e., under open-circuit conditions.
