I don't need to drop the voltage
If anything I need to boost it a little
That's why I'm thinking of one the DROK or similar voltage boosters
Maybe a buck boost model
Ideally I could take what ever is coming in between 12 & 16v and output 14v into the controller or skip the controller and set the output at 13.6v to the batteries
The booster would shut down when at dark when the panels shut down, and prevent back feed to the panels just like the solar controller
I bought and installed a 10 amp.controller
But because of the negative of the panel is common grounded some place between the panels and the OEM connect to the chassis fuse block there is no isolation and thus no control
Voltage is not high, but the panels will be back feed at night which makes the controller useless at this moment
