OK everyone thanks for the help.
Now I need to decide.....wire panels in series and go with a MPPT controller or wire panels parallel and use a PWM controller. If I go with MPPT and wire in series, adding more panels in the future may be more of a problem due to voltage limits of controller......along with shading being more of a problem. Is this correct?
Or wire panels parallel, which may mean I have to upgrade the Lance installed wiring if I want to add more panels in the future. Advantage here would be using the Bogart controller that would interface with my Trimetric.
More thoughts or input appreciated.
Thanks!
