No. less efficient. The bigger the voltage difference between PV and battery, the less efficient the conversion. The only benefit of higher voltage/lower current is reduced wiring losses, particularly if you have long wires between PV and MPPT.
To charge a battery the applied voltage must be at least equal to the highest voltage the battery reaches. In this case either the PV panel voltage must be as high as desired or you need to add a boost converter. I'll deal only with the direct PV panel connection.
The key function of a battery in a PV system is to provide power when other generating sourced are unavailable, and hence batteries in PV systems will experience continual charging and discharging cycles. All battery parameters are affected by battery charging and recharging cycle.
Consider a scenario where you have a 200W solar panel with a working voltage of 20V and an amperage of 10A. To charge a 12V battery system, you’re going to need a charge controller to step down the voltage and regulate the current to prevent overcharging.
It can’t boost the (too low) voltage from a PV panel in order to begin charging a battery. Working at up to 98% efficiency the MPPT can accept any PV side voltage up to its maximum PV input voltage limit. This varies with the Victron models between 75V and 250V and is clearly printed on the unit itself, and all associated documentation.
The bigger the voltage difference between PV and battery, the less efficient the conversion. The only benefit of higher voltage/lower current is reduced wiring losses, particularly if you have long wires between PV and MPPT. No. 500V is a never exceed. Do so, and you risk destroying the MPPT.
