MPPT with boost converter

Hi, 

 

I have a Nissan E-NV200 camper van with 660 watts of solar on the roof that powers a 48v battery bank. Since this battery bank is actually charging the traction battery, I would like to use as much of the surface space as possible on the van. I am currently connecting 4 solar panels in parallel on the roof to get a total nominal voltage of well over 56 volts.

Due to space constraints, I cannot find any PV panels small enough to fit on the sides having a nominal voltage above 56v.

Are there any MPPT controllers on the market that can boost a lower voltage PV setup to charge a 48v battery(56v maximum)?
