RoyB - great going on planning for that much solar on a popup. Ground mount solar panel means you can adjust angle to get maximum insolation. Ours are all roof mounted on 34' 5th wheel, but we have sufficient panels to mount flat.

controller at 90 V
8.7 kW-hr (at 48 V nominal) LFP battery suite (7 kW-hr usable)
