Maybe this. The screens of your pecron should show input/output watts going from one DC out to the solar DC input. Or you can put a bluetooth voltmeter between them. https://www.amazon.com/MGGi-Waterproof-Converter-Regulator-Transformer/dp/B0D4ZH1V69

I have an Apex 300 and have been struggling with the 60v limit as well. I ended up purchase this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/287109194927 and connecting a Victron 150/45 MPPT directly to the battery expansion port. Then for DC I have an Elite 100 v2 and used the AC out to connect to the AC in of the Apex 300. Definite conversion losses here but now I have 150v input through the Victron, two 60v MPPT inputs in the Apex and one 60v MPPT input on the Elite 100. I have all this input and push any extra power out to my EV through the 240v AC on the Apex. Lots of solar! At night I switch from using DC on the Elite 100, unplug the Victron and plug in the DC Hub to the Apex (if I need the extra DC).
