Tool/software:

Are the back-to-back ACFETs required for MPPT operation? Can one or both be omitted (like BATFET?)

Hello Korbin,

The BATFET and ACFETS are not required for MPPT operation, however I do recommend placing a schottky diode in it's place, to protect against reverse current from battery.
