Hi jrnymn7,
All too often, voltage from a nominally 12 volt panel would drive the battery bank voltage up too high for float. As Mr. W said, blocking diodes would be needed.

Seems to me, if using 12v panels, if all you ever did was bulk charging, you wouldn't need a controller at all. And if you were to de-rate the 12v panels to max out at say 14.8v, you could abs charge without a controller, as well?
