My woodworking shop is equipped with 12 12v DC Batteries & catches the overrun from the house which runs off hydro and wind.
As my projects are increasing in power needs I'm going to add solar panels as well.
I already have an MPPT CC in place for the overflow output and wondering if it's acceptable to simply drop a second MPPT CC for the solar panels right onto the same battery bank or if I'll need to split my battery bank between the controllers and then link the split banks back together with isolation diodes. My current CC only has two inputs and also is not rated high enough for the addition of the solar panels. Simply trying to use what I have instead of buying a super high amp CC with three inputs.

Thank you
