Solar Controller

Can anyone help me out?

Can I link 48V solar controllers in parallel into one set of 48v battery system as to achieve the solar panel total Amp input to charge the battery.

My instinct is a big NO.

You'd need to consult the controller manufacturer to be sure...but trying to current share is always dodgy.

Someone may know better ...

Another No here. Unless the controller manual specifically says that it can support parallel operation then you may find yourself with a rather expensive smokey-smelling doorstop (or two).

You are better off sticking to using a single larger controller (your basic non-grid connected regulators are cheap enough anyway, even in large capacities).

yes, my friend. U can connect the controllers in parralel to the battery, and it is the normal connection way. By connecting the positive pole of solar controller to the positive pole of the battery, and by connecting negative electrode of your controller to negative electrode of your battery, that is the normal connect way. so no problem, my friend
