Yes, I have done several with a MPPT but you have to use a pair of DC 2200uf 150 volt capacitors inline without a resistor or the MPPT will freak out from the pulses of the rectified DC.

I got one of these simple 10 amp MPPT charge controller with SAE connectors, plus a 16 foot long MC4 cable with SAE plug, a polarity adapter if needed, and an SAE connector about 6 feet long with alligator battery clips. I quickly plugged all the parts together so I won`t misplace them. I plan to use these 10 amp controllers to add individual solar panels to my system for an added boost. And like you said here....they add some redundancy to your setup in case your main charge controller quits during an emergency. I also have solar power stations that I can charge up then dump their charge into my big 300ah battery with a plug-in 300 watt LiFeP04 charger. My big system is also great for charging up my Bluetti EB70 power stations because they charge faster with their wall chargers than with solar panels so I can quickly load that energy into my big battery in one to four hours on bad solar days and finish charging the power stations with their chargers. I use the two EB70s for my 5 cubic ft freezer. If a hurricane hits us again and I have garden food, catfish, or 5 gallons of blackberries for Winter I can`t let it ruin.

I use the cheap PWM for balancing my well pump circuit, PWM is better for solar water well pumping. The Perfect Suitor is a Wu Long Guanxi product, dirt cheap, should not be in high heat areas without a cooling fan, but is durable otherwise. As for a MPPT, the controller must have a transformer and a logic boosting circuit. 90% of the controllers sold claiming mppt are fakes. If it don't have the weight, the transformers and extra large capacitors it is not a genuine MPPT. The small controller on here uses a hybrid MPPT so even it is not a pure true MPPT, its got a internal boost circuit, curve tracking, much better than a PWM, but it is over 95% effective compared to 81% average on a regular PWM.

Excellent option for many different solar projects, especially one where you can't or don't want to use mounting brackets or if you have a curved surface like an RV roof. They were used for 5 years on a building that was taken down. These were originally mounted with velcro. The velcro is still on it so you can just reuse that or peel the paper back and stick it down. Flexible solar panels like this are very expensive but of course we have a great deal on them, way better shipping costs, no mounting brackets needed, and can install on any surface. These can be completely rolled up so they are more flexible and soft than any other solar panel out there. We tested every solar panel, cleaned them off the best we could, and they all come with about 2 feet of wire connectors. Below is the specs of these solar panels.

These jump starters have a critical flaw, using their 12 volt function gives a output of 14.6 volts. Many things don't like voltage over 14.0 to immediately work, they will handle 15 volt spike that like a car alternator causes when it short period. But like my 12 volt refrigerators they just turn off till volts drop under 14 before responding. It's the electronics reaction to prevent voltage spike damage. They even say it in their documents to run them on 11.0 to 14.0 range. Protection like a inverter has. Solution is to regulate it to exactly 13.8 and no higher. Even a 12 volt camera faulted and now won't work trying it on the claimed 12 volt port. A jump starter, is a rare and occasional item for use, having 20 amps of 12 volt power is a constant want and desire to use and good reason to buy one. So you can see my quandary and problem. Maybe an adapter cord that has a voltage reducer built into it? You may notice that items you plug into your cigarette lighter in your car will turn off while you're starting your car and for the first few seconds after you start your car that outlet in your car will be off to avoid bad voltage surge. But with these jump starters it's immediate full 14.6 volts because the 3.7 batteries cause that and they're not regulated internally. I haven't yet found one that is and a lot of people have been complaining about this same problem.

To fully charge a 300 ah battery in one day, the average summer day you need over 800 watts minimum of solar, over 1200 watts in winter. Depending on your set up, mounting, panel angles, shade and wire used would affect that outcome. Basic solar sizing is: Calculate 1400 watts per 100 AH of battery per hour (same as 300 watts of solar X 4.65 hours a day of peak sun) Then your supply is equal to your storage, I always double that so you account for usage while charging.

The summer nights in your area love to be 80 degrees, so curtain off your sleeping area, cut and fit 1/2" foam in your windows for now, so your AC runs less, use a brushless 200mm fan to help keep you cool when it cycles. The AC unit in your area will use 10% more power, that's because your inhaling pure humidity, makes them work harder. I know your having to piece it together, if you drive out my way I'll send you home with a extra battery and controllers to charge up on the grid or generator for hard nights in your area till your checks catch up with your spending needs.

Lol we no doubt got morons running things. Can't quit laughing buddy.

I would be under less stress if they were only morons, they are more like gangster flunky wannabes.

I loved your videos until you did the "Brandon" thing. I'm an American, just like you.

john , I have 2 large 6 volt batteries powering my tractor which is parked in a place that I do not have access to 110 volts to keep these batteries charged . If I were to mount the solar panel on the roof of my tractor would this setup work to maintain the voltage in my batteries and prevent them from going dead and always be ready to start when needed ??!

Yes, it would do exactly that. Be sure to secure well and if your tractor roof flexes and be sure to mount on something that allows the panel to not flex with it like rubber muffler straps
