Solar Panel Disconnected from SUN
I am planning installing 4X140W panels(parallel)flat mounted going to 15A breakers(so they can be switched off if needed) to the charge. The panel have ISC of 7.50 each times 4 equal 30. The controlle...

If you only have a 24AMP solar controller that is all it will draw from the available 30AMP Capacity being produced by the solar panels. What is left over is being wasted if not used. This does not harm the solar panels at all if you do not use the available VOLTAGE being generated by the sun. It is just available for you to use when in high sun. This is why you have batteries connected. The available power being generated has to be stored in the batteries so it will be available to use after dark. No sense wasting the available power. Add more batteries to store it in...
The switches and circuit breakers in the solar line is only really needed to protect the wiring in case of battery system overload or short circuits. Smaller wiring will not like to have 30AMPS DC being drawn from the solar panels. MrWIZARD had a short circuit mishap just a couple of days ago...
Your system is looking almost like the my upcoming solar system using two each 120WATT panels on one end and hopefully a single 240WATT panel on the other end on top of my OFF-ROAD POPUP setup...
Hoping big time to have 14.4VDC@30AMPs capacity coming from solar controller for 6-7 hours during the day to play with charging up my battery bank. Game plan for me is to cut back on my generator run time each day.
