You can go up to a 250w poly or a 275w mono panel. Those are going to get you in the 17-19a range. I suggest the 250w poly as it is close to the same in bright light and better in lower light.
Generally it is cheaper per watt to get 24v panels than 12v as long as both fit on the roof.
Is 250w poly the limit of what the Eco-Worthy controller can take?
If 24v panels are cheaper per watt, what are the downside with 24v panel except the size and space?
The 250w polys and 275w mono's are 5 ft panels with Voc's in the mid 30s. Larger than that and you break into the 6 ft panels with Voc's in the 40's that may be under the Voc limit of the Eco-worthy until you get a really cold day.
