Yes!!! Solar Boost charge controllers can be paralleled for large systems. With paralleled charge controllers the large PV array is divided into sub-arrays with each sub-array connecting to it’s own Solar Boost charge controller. Outputs of the multiple controllers then connect to a common battery. • What is MPPT Answer: MPPT is short for Maximum Power Point Tracking. MPPT does not physically move the PV modules to make them point more directly at the sun. MPPT is an electronic system that operates the modules in a manner that can extract more PV power and deliver higher charge current than conventional PWM charge controllers. Under optimal conditions Solar Boost MPPT charge controllers can increase charge current up 30% or more. To learn more about MPPT and how it works click here.
