Solar crunch time! Please review my plan.
I would like begin my first post with a big thank you to all who have shared their knowledge and experience on this forum. Without that, I probably wouldn't be entering the solar jungle! I hope yo...

I have MPPT which depends on panel wattage. Panel wattage takes a dive in hot sun, and your output amps to the battery, which come from the output watts divided by the battery voltage at the time, then suffer too.
PWM doesn't do the amps to the battery that way, so it does not take a hit in the hot sun (panel heating---controller would, but is supposed it be in out of the sun!)
Therefore it seems camping where you intend, with a pair of 150w panels, you should stick with the intended PWM.
I agree with smk (usually do!) that since you are getting the Trimetric set, just get a set of panels for less money and not buy that kit.
