Planning Solar Panels
Hi everyone, I'm working on my very first DIY camper conversion, using a 2010 extended Ford E250. I was looking at solar panels yesterday, I was going to make the move eventually but maybe soone...

Ok so I'm about to pull the trigger on this deal and wanted your approval.
These solar panels are from a very reliable company and at a great price, 225$ for 265w (0.85$/watt)
I also like the fact that they are all black.

Can I buy only one for now and buy an "ok" MPPT charge controller and hook it up to my 2 GC2 6v batteries 215AH?
Would this be a good setup for a beginner like me?
Once I figure out what I really need after using the camper for a season I could adjust my setup and maybe buy another 265w 24v panel? (does it have to be the same brand?)
This is my layout on the roof rack, there's only two places I could fit these huge panels, the kayak won't be there all the time.
