I am planning on adding solar down the road from now. Would like to see if I am on the right tract. I want to install three Kyocera 140 watt panels flat on top. Wired in parallel to a BlueSky 2000E, then to the my battery bank of four GC2's.I know the BlueSjy will chop any amps over 25 amp. My concern is the run from the 2000E to the batteries will be 25' I Plan on using 2AWG wire for the run to help over come the distance.
Are you stuck on 2000E? Look at 30a Rogue or 30a Morningstar MPPT. Both have voltage sense connection to mitigate the long distance issues to the battery. #8 or #6 should be fine.
As long as you are coming out west you may as well stop at SolarBLVD.com in Norco CA to pick up the panels and maybe a controller.
Where you buy is up to you. Shipping panels can be a bit high so if you can swing by a supplier while in motion then all the better.
