I agree 100% with going to a higher battery bank voltage if at all possible. However for my current rig I do not see it happening, maybe a future rig but not this one. For the very same reasons you state I went with a PV array of 40Voc and a MPPT controller. It's all about POWER aka Watts higher voltage lower current WAY lower wire losses
Me I'm not worried about batteries starting on fire. Nor am I worried about using my 18 gallon propane tank supplying propane to the frig while driving or the 60 gallons gasoline tank starting on fire. Attention to the details is always required
