Buck Your Solar with a Mex Gizmo?
Mex has a thread about equalizing with this sort of gizmo http://www.amazon.com/DROK-Constant-Current-Converter-Regulated/dp/B00E8D7XYG There are many of these on ebay with different specs, so t...

Ok there are zillions of step up step down buck converters, some mention they are for solar. They seem to be low amp but intended to stabilize the varying solar voltage input for a steady voltage output.
Not sure. I have no clue.
I thought the buck converter would go between the panel and the controller. Input is panel voltage and current depending on sunshine during the day but panel output max is say 22v and 8 amps to a 20a controller that passes through whatever amps it gets while not letting the battery get over its voltage set point, say 14.8v
The gizmo should buck that 8 amps higher using the "extra voltage" the panel is at above battery voltage.
I just want to buck the amps the panel passes through the controller to the limit of the controller's amps rating and keep the voltage seen at the battery from going over 14.8v
