Concerning the "20%" question.
It is the difference between the 48 amps, from a 12v series/mppt set-up JiminDenver has seen reported, and the 60 amps he would expect to see from his own 24v parallel/mppt set-up. 48/60 = 80%. Do I have documentation? No. Is it a fair comparison? I can't say for sure. But Jim has proven to me to be a reliable source of information. And I'm quite convinced he's aware of all the factors that need to be considered when making such a comparison.
Pretty much everyone agrees there are many things to be taken into account. And as to the reliability of what is being reported on the various solar forums, I cannot say. But I also cannot attest to the reliability of much of what is said here on this forum, or by those in the retail industry.
