Hello everyone. The last topic that I posted I was amazed at the great info that I got!
So now I come with another question.
Please bear with me, I'm new to this.
A friend of mine would up with 2 portable power stations, 300W max output, 288Wh capacity and 12-24V/5A solar input (male XT60).

I am looking for a suitable solar panel for the duo.
The panel that I saw was this one:
Pmax – 410Wp
Vmp – 31.46V
Imp – 13.04A
Voc – 37.45 (± 3%)
Isc - 13.85A (± 3%)
https://v-tac.eu/solar-pv-systems/s...solar-panel-1722-1134-35mm-31-pcs-detail.html
I am thinking probably the most straightforward solution would be a parallel Y 1 male to 2 female XT60 splitter like this one:
Dilwe Parallel Adapter Cable, XT60 Parallel Battery Connector Adapter 14AWG Cable for RC Lipo (1 Male to 2 Female) https://amzn.eu/d/0ctNdUTh
I am seeing a bit of a risk there as Vmp is 6V higher than the Power Station's Solar DC input.
I imagine that this input voltage is not reached very often, but it's also not a huge excess, even if it happens to reach that voltage.
The Imp is also 3A higher than the combined rating of the 2 power stations. I understand that the parallel splitter will split the current, max 13A and bring maximum current of 6.5A to the XT60 solar input of each power station.
I imagine that also this input current will not be reached too often and that it's anyway also not a huge excess.
That being said, if a MPPT or a PWM could be better installed between the 400W panel and the XT60 splitter to bring those voltages and currents down when needed, I think it would be best.
However, I see that none of those have any MC4 or XT60 input/put.
I also don't know how those would recognise the 2 power banks connected in parallel, so any advise on that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again to all!
