yes ..
I run 4 x 200W GE panels with 2 in series with 54V and the in parallel with the other 2 creating a total of up to 15Amp at typical 50V and a bit more at peak.

I use an Outback MPPT 60Amp solar regulator which does convert nicely to 12V.
It is a bit expensive here in OZ, but you can get it reasonably easy from the US, which I did with all my solar gear and batteries.

good luck

Yes, most MPPT controllers will handle the higher input voltages...

I'm using a >>
Morningstar Sunsaver SSMPPT-15L

With the exchange rat as it is, these are quite affordable iif purchased from the good ol' U S of A ;-
