    Most charge controllers have a blocking diode. Check specs on the charge controller.
    Make sure your system is grounded. Ground – bat side. ground – side on panels.

    The 4 Siemens 55w use the Trace C40.

    3 Harbor freight+ 4 15w Sunforce on the Sunforce 7 amp.

    The other set of 4 Sunforce panels are using the 7 amp charge controller.

    The C40 wires into the center of the battery bank.

    The two 7 amp charge controllers are at the corners of the battery bank.

    Question: So you can have separate charge controller on a multiple solar panel?
