Just a little hack I figured I'd share with owners of the 50A DC DC charge controller. My current system consists of 3 175W panels, 2000W PSW inverter and the controller. I was a little bummed on how we're limited to 4-600W of solar for charging without running an engine to draw extra from the alternator. So what I am doing is adding a separate charge controller with 2-300W of solar to the starting batteries so when the engine is off the DC to DC controller will draw the excess from the start batteries thinking it is the alternater charging. I like to sit at anchor on my boat for extended periods of time so this will be a perfect way to add extra solar because Renogy controllers dont communicate with each other to add directly to the batteries.
