Beefing up a Won-Hung-Lo Boost Converter

Here's a schematic of the circuit for reference:

Thanks for the reply, seems obvious now that I know my mistake. I realize it's only limiting input current, which is fine for me. My goal is to turn it into a cheap mppt boost controller to charge my lawnmower with. I'm going to use a digital pot to control the op-amp gain, and monitor input current and voltage to find mppt point.

I'm going to be doing this to charge my vintage boat at low speed which had a 6V generator.  I inly need 3-5A.

dmwahl:
I'll post my results here, I made a quick PCB to hold the digital pot, current sensor, and an arduino pro mini to do the math. I'm planning on using a 30W solar panel intended for 12V batteries. Peak current is only around 2A. If it works well I'll post the PCB files somewhere so anyone else can use them.

"Any ideas why replacing the LM358 with a TL072 would prevent the board from working properly?" I think itÅ› because LM358 is Rail to Rail and TL072 is not.
Has anyone succeeded in beefing up this circuit?
