Solar/wind combination

[Bubba92]

Thinking of adding a couple wind turbines to our off grid setup. I have an epever 60amp mppt solar charge controller. The turbines have their own little controllers. My question is can i hook up the charge wires from the wind turbine to the pv input on my charge controller? Ive seen hybrid controllers but wasnt sure if there was much if any difference. Will this energize my panels at night if the turbine is generating power? Would this work or would i be better off purchasing a separate charge controller for the turbines?

I would advise you to go for a separate charge controller.
