Solar question - 12v versus 24v
I recently installed a Renogy solar system. I have 2 100w mono panels. I added a Tracer 20AMP MPPT solar controller. I also have 2 100AH AGM 12V batteries. I currently have the panels connected in par...

The controller is more efficient (more watts out for the watts into it, when not stepping down from 24 panel to 12v battery than doing 12-12, so yo would gain amperage there, but OTOH the higher panel voltage gives more room for the controller to do anything in lower light conditions when there is less wattage from the lower voltage coming in.
So it is possible one could be better than the other sometimes and the other way better other times.
Seems like you are getting good results now, so I agree---leave it be and enjoy your solar :)
