I'm still trying to wrap my head around the solar and power issue, but I have learned a lot. In conversation with my RV service tech, an independent guy who takes pride in his knowledge and work, I was listening to him discuss the wiring issue, in conjunction with a new Victron controller (100/50) and Victron 712 Voltmeter he'll be installing this week.
There are occasional reports of voltage happening from moonlight.
My system from 1992 (30 watts of amorphous solar for $1700!) would show voltage if I parked under a street light.
My current system does not show voltage when I park under a street lamp.
I believe series installations may start charging sooner in the day. But I have no proof of this, just anecdotal incidents.
Excellent equipment choice on your part. Get the voltage up as high as you can. Then wire the panels in series/parallel.
I would have chosen SiO2 instead of Li.
