Good plan,
Unfortunately I have not been able to source panels with bypass diodes between each cell since UniSolar went under. I do freely admit they are HUGE as well. I'd love to have more wattage, but that would require starting over with a charge controller with greater capacity and new poly panels with an MPPT controller. (Yes, I know it is not economic).

The problem seems to be the BP panel which gets shade from the a/c cowling. I made a mount that pulled it back some, but this time of year it doesn't get it out of the shade. I should put a switch on it to completely bypass it.
