Although I love the idea of 4 supplies for the extra current and originally went that route myself, Greg helped me understand that you're better off to run 36v to each side for generator charging to avoid buck-boost transitions. You can keep the fourth as a backup or it might be possible to share two of the supplies and use 3 and 4 in separate series connections, though I'm not sure how much you'd gain and haven't tried it.

How did you do the USB port? Cool feature for phone charging.

Thank you,
yes split leads straight off the Meanwell powering both @ 48V , Dual USB 12-24V run off (complete overkill ) meanwell led 240V-12V transformer , this unit will probably outlast me
