Hi Wayne,
Based on 50 amp-hours per day and derating solar to 28% of full capacity, I would go with 600 watts of solar.
Is the existing battery bank wired in a balanced manner?
Yes, battery bank is wired in a balanced manner.
With the Trimetric SC2030, rated at 30 amps, it appears that I could expand to at least 540 watts, and maybe as much as 600 watts of panels. My plan is to start with 300 watts, spread to different areas of the roof, and situated for easy expansion of that becomes necessary based on experience.
We will be camping with hookups most of the time, but living off the grid is important for extended fishing trips in the mountains. I'm not trying to go 100% solar, just trying to minimize running a generator for charging.
