460 watt solar setup: wire sizes?
I want to change out my old 50 watt panel and 10 amp controller with at least one and hopefully two 230 watt 24 volt panels and whatever controller would be best. Right now the roof on my fifth wheel ...

I still don't understand "diversion load." When the batts are near full and the solar is able to put out more amps than that due to the sun still being high etc, then you can run any load you want and it will not "come out of" the battery's SOC.
Why it will not come out of the battery if load is connected to the battery? As I understand, this is about resistance. When battery is near full and some charger is connected, most current will come out of the charger to the load, and battery will contribute a fraction. OTH, when you run the load off the auxiliary output of controller, the battery will contribute nothing at all.
Don - when you are saying that 30A MPPT is good for 500W in "fixed installation", you probably mean flat?
