charge controllers 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
Hi, this is my first post in any forum so I hope it's ok.
I was wondering if somebody could help me with a diagram or description of how to wire up 3x30amp controllers to one battery bank, ie. I'm hooking up 3 lots of panels, one lot to each controller and basicly running 3 systems into one battery bank.
My panels are each 120watt and I'll be using 4 panels per controller(28amps per 4 panels), the reason I'm doing it this way is because I already have 4 good quality 30amp controllers, I would appreciate any help you may be able to give, bye for now.
Manx.

Yes this is not only possible, but very easy. Just parallel the outputs of your three charge controllers into the battery bank input. This means tie all the positive (+) outputs of your controllers together and connect to battery bank positive (+) input, then tie all the negative (-) outputs of your controllers together and connect to battery bank negative (-) input. Each controller input is then hooked up to a separate solar panel. Hope this helps

I also found some links which may be of some interest:

It's not garbage, it's building material.
