Hi BFL13,
The input voltage limit does not change the output of the controller. I.e.
30 amps X 12 volts = 360 watts output, 40 amps x 12 volts = 480 watts.
Since it they are both MPPT you could feed them with up to 150 volts for the 30 amp and up to 100 volts with the 40 amp.
I.e.
150 v x 2.4 amps = 360 watts for the 30 amp
100 v x 4.8 amps = 480 watts for the 40 amp
btw I'm not recommending series panel strings--just showing some "what if" numbers.

I got lost again how the 40amper could do more watts than the 30amper but with 100v limit where the 30 has 150. So picking panels and arranging your strings and parallels must be a tricky business. ?
