It s all in the wiring.
Two charge controllers one solar panel.
This involves varying charge stages voltages and current depending on the type of battery and other factors.
I use a 40 amp mppt with a 370 watt 48 volt solar panel.
The charge process is performed in a smart or intelligent way.
This is used when the solar panel is stored for travelling.
The wedgetail camper has two solar inputs via red anderson plugs.
There are a few charge controllers that have now added the default option of having two battery banks.
The combined power of the two panels would exceed the current handling capability.
Here s something you can do.
Connect two large solar panels to one battery.
The two banks are charge separately using the same controller and solar panels.
The first is on the roof.
Mppt controllers have a switch mode buck converter.
Most solar charge controllers will only allow you to charge one battery.
However the total combined charging will fully charge and maintain float.
When the wedgie is open the roof hinges over 180 degrees and becomes the base of our bed.
Cheap charge controllers are a bang bang mosfet switch so either the battery is straight on the solar cell or not.
Two of them on one panel will get very confused.
A solar charge controller is designed to receive power from a solar panel or array of panels and use it to charge a battery or bank of batteries.
Once the battery is full the charge controller switch will be mostly off so the other charge controller can use the solar cell.

What is the problem if we connect the same solar panel to two controllers in parallel which in turn each one is connected to a different battery.
Connecting the solar panel charge controller mppt or pwm are the same solar battery and the pv array in the right way is the essential work before enjoying the solar energy.
