If you can get to your converter you can tie in to the battery connection there.
My solar panel is right above my converter which is about 15' horizontal from the battery. Instead of running additional cable to the battery I just ran the solar controller output to the lugs that connect the converter to the battery.Instead of running additional cable to the battery I just ran the solar controller output to the lugs that connect the converter to the battery.
You'll lose a few tenths of a volt (depending on how many watts you're pushing and how large the existing wire is) but in my case it wasn't worth running the extra wire.
Thank you - I think you stated a better way of stating the question that I am asking.
The wires from my batteries connect to my electrical panel. Can I connect the output from my controller to where the wires from my battery connect to the circuit breaker panel or do I need to run them directly to the batteries?
