solar panel connectors
What are the pros and cons to TYCO connectors vs mc4 and do they make some type of y connector for Tyco or should I stay away from tyco.

Remember the big hail storm a few summers ago. It got my trailer totaled, took out siding, windows, dinged up lots of cars, etc. Lots of new solar out here and I didn't see any damage to any of it.
On the controller, don't just go for cost. There are a few using the lessor expensive controller here, they work. Just go beyond the price and check settings and features. Is it adjustable enough to fit your needs, does it have temp compensation and what does it do with it. I researched a lot of controllers both high and low end before settling on the TS-MPPT-60 for the big array. I still use the least expensive MPPT controller to run the portable.
When you are ready to mount, we can make sure those big panels are not going to flex or come off. Depending on the run to the battery I might be able to spare some 1/0 and a few lugs.
YEP I had to replace ac covers and one of the vent cover
