[RE-wrenches] paralleling FM-60's

[Steve Higgins]

Jay, 

In the old days it could cause a failure with the MX-60's.  Now it just
throws the MPPT on the second controller way off, it can be done but you
aren't going to see much gain from the second controller.  I would
suggest not to do it. 

The Diode's isn't going to solve the MPPT problem.

HI All,

Say anyone ever paralleled mx/fm-60's?

I have a unique situation that would be very expensive to pull
additional wire however the existing wire is large enough to need 2
fm-60s'

If I put a diode between them so they don't feed each other any problems
that anyone knows of?

thanks,

jay
