We have a Meanwell SD-500L-48 DC-DC converter that converts our 48V battery bank to 12 V (with supposedly high efficiency) at supposedly 508 W capacity. Power comes from the six panels at 90 V nominal to Tristar MPPT-45. Our panels on roof of 5th wheel so there is about a 15 m path from most rear panel (30 V and 235 W) to controller. Panels are in series of 3.
Max power ever seen was 1330 which was 14 amps to controller and then 26 amps or so from controller to battery bank. A 12 V battery bank would have required an MPPT rated at 110 amps.
The controller is about 1 m from the battery bank and the Meanwell converter is about 20 cm from the battery bank (velcroed to one battery)
