24 volt to 12 volt converter
Looking to run 600 watts of solar to my 40 amp MTTP controller at 36 volts. I have 4-6 volt batteries. So I need to get my 24 volt battery bank down to 12 volts to my Magnum 2012 inverter charger. ...

On the OP's MPPT controller which I ASSume is a Tracer 4210A rated current-40A ,rebranded:
Rated charge power 520w-12v, 1040w-24v; and max PV array power 1560w 12v,
Renogy/Tracer 40
Max PV input power: 400W @12V, 800W @24V

I would go for TS MPPT 60 and 3*250W array. Possibly - 3*300W.
The figures I gave are from the manual for the Tracer 4210A. I don't know why the other 4210 Tracer would be any different, but there it is. I have the 2210A which has the same manual as the 4210A. My 2210A rated charge power is 260w, so also at 13v.
I over-panelled to 300w, and it operated as advertised, array aimed at high sun. Morning and afternoon it was below 260w anyway so no wasted power from the 300w except mid-day on the good days. Based on how it all went, I am a believer in some "over-panelling", just as Morningstar recommends.
