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...

Buck. Reduces voltage
Boost increases voltage
Example an 8 amp power supply at 22v
MPPT takes the extra voltage and creates amps
It tracks the battery acceptance rate and does it's best to keep voltage where the batteries accept the most watts up until it gets to the set point...say 14.8v
To me using a boost between controller and batteries it's futility except for equalizing p
It would allow for one voltage and no float
If you had power from the controller at 13.2v. It would be boosted to 15v or what ever you have set it at
It might not work at all
Many controllers need to sense battery voltage
Ask Landyatch .... If he disconnects the input power can he read voltage on the input side, from a battery connected to the output
