Meanwell PS as input to MPPT controller ??
Will it work? Will it break something? The Meanwell is rated at 500W, but I've seen it go up to 600-700W when the batteries are depleted. The EPSolar MPPT is rated at 520W PV input (and output for...

EP Solar MPPT - which one?
If it's 30A, then it will cut everything over 30A off - the more you overload it, the more it will overheat, but with MPPT it's usually not an instant smoke and flame, but rather an accelerated wear, nobody knows how much sooner.
Minnie can output (you are saying) 700W, this is less than 30A@24V. Way less, considering that when batteries draw 700w because they are hungry, the voltage is ~30V. I don't see any problem for 30A MPPT.
Get solar already :)
The EPSOlar is the 20A version feeding a 24V battery bank. If I crank up the Meanwell V to its max of 32.5V, it might still be ok.
Got lots of solar (>1000W) but this mppt controller is for the portable panels, so not being used when 120VAC is avail.
