Direct PV power runs my Ryobi clone battery charger. This is rated for 100 to 240V AC but it works down to 60V DC from my PV array. It worked as is because it has a switching power supply. From experience I know these switchers will work that low and sometimes they need a little help starting. I bridged a 2.2M ohm resistor across the two 1M ohm boot up resistors to make starting easier. With this modification the charger will still work with 120V AC. Just another way to not have to run an inverter. 60V is always available in the shop. Most devices never have enough air circulation. I cut the internal vent bars to make air easier to move. At lower voltage, the internal inverter will run a bit hotter. These are projects I do and are not recommended for those without a technical background.
Is that techluck? I had one of those to repair after a lightning hit. Everything was destroyed except the protection devices. The builder wouldn't repair it. The programmed micro could only be supplied by him. Those caps are only rated .68A each and some are going bad in a few years. Love to get one for repair so I could test performance. Anyone with a problem should contact me.

I got one of those hot water controller form that guy and he went out of business again I have to put up some new panels for it
I have a inverter that runs direct power off the panels I haven't got around to putting panels to it yet it's a mppt solar 500 volt input pv
