In parallel 280w, 36v x 8A + 280w, 36v x 8A = 560w, 36v x 16A
MPPT controller will convert the power to battery voltage for charging.
@13v that would be 560/13 = 43A
In series 280w, 36v x 8A + 280w, 36v x 8A = 560w, 72v x 8A

I am not that smart. But that breakdown 2 280s is to much for this controller.
The tracer4215bn 40A rated charge is 520W/12 max PV Array 1560W/12 if I am reading the table right.
