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...

I want to still have the controller controlling but just feed it more amps than the panel would normally feed it. Seems to me the gizmo would then go between panel and controller.
Do these type of gizmos accept the panel output of V and A as input and you can adjust up the amps to the controller without screwing up the voltages the controller would accept (limit is the Voc rating limit I suppose)
If I want to just have a two stage controller that gets the batteries up to Vabs and then holds that voltage till dark (no Float), then do I even need the controller? Why not just use the gizmo between panel and battery? Advantage over a controller is the higher amps, and still get the output voltage limit setting?
I want to create the situation like where the MPPT controller has gone into PWM but its bucking is still on. I am not trying to make an MPPT. For charging during Bulk the idea would be more amps than with PWM pass-through, just no MPPT.
