I am not planning on doing this, it was just something that I was thinking about this morning. I know MPPT controllers do very well when taking in a higher voltage and stepping it down to match the batteries (which is why they are so efficient!). So using the same methodology, MPPT controlers could step up voltage too then?!
If MPPT is designed to optimize panels to batteries, then it should work? The normal operation is usually having a higher voltage input than the battery, and the MPPT steps this down. Is it possible then to use a lower voltage input, and the MPPT will step it up to match the batteries? Or is the MPPT only programmed/designed/capable of stepping down the voltage?
