Is 36v 300 watts better than 24v 300 watts? I originally thought so, now I don't know.
I thought I understood the possibilities of higher voltage panels, now I feel confused again.
Seraphim, guys here are very technical. There are benefits to 36V panels over 24V panels of the same wattage. And there are benefits of 24V panels over 12V panels, but in your case they don't outweigh the benefits of 33% more wattage of 4*100W compared to one 300W.
For 400W you will need 35A-45A controller. 60A controller would work too, but this would be waste of money, IMO.
