48v worth of panels charging a 12v battery bank?

Hello,

Would it be okay (acceptable?) to have four 12volt panels in series, via an MPPT controller, charging a 12vdc battery bank?

Absolutely if the controller you buy has a high enough Voc input. Most low end MPPT controllers most likely not. The controller would need a minimum 80 Voc input. Good quality controllers can take 150, 200, 250, and a couple go as high as 600 Voc.

This would be a Kid controller. I neglected to add that to my previous post.

Thank you.

Never touched the stuff myself, I don't drink anymore.

Thank you.

Reportedly, a very good brand.

And, when combined with their Whizbang Junior remote current shunt at the battery, gives you more flexibility, monitoring and options than just about anything but the MS Classic models!

Every time you use "MS" for Midnite, I have to stop and think for a moment. Midnite Solar prefers to abbreviate as "MN". When I see "MS", I think of MorningStar.

I purchased one of the Midnite "Beta Kids" (at a discounted rate), which came with options not offered with the later production units, including a discounted Whizbang Jr., and a life time warranty. Now that I look back, I wish I had purchased two of them.
