Can you connect MPPT solar charge controllers together? Yes. Watch this video to learn WHY and HOW TO setup your MPPT solar charge controllers to charge a single battery bank. I'll show you the key components used for this project and how they are all hooked up. Finally, I'll show you the custom rack system I built to hold all of this stuff in my tiny solar compartment.

MORE ABOUT THIS PROJECT
When to use multiple MPPT solar charge controllers?
The primary reason to do this is when you want to charge a single battery bank from more than one solar array. Each solar array should have its own solar charge controller.
How to make multiple MPPT solar charge controllers work together?
Your system should be setup as follows:
(1) Charge profiles should be the programmed the same for all MPPT solar charge controllers
(2) Solar charge controller outputs should be connected in parallel (all negatives joined together, all positives joined together) and positioned at the same distance from the parallel connection.
(3) Follow manufacturer’s recommendation for combining charge controllers (my Victron controllers need to linked together on the same bluetooth network to become aware of each other). The goal is to make sure all charge controllers switch charging phases together.
