Hi Wo.ody,
Thanks for the compliment--but there are folks here who know lots more than I do.
Have you done an energy audit?
My choice of panel would be high voltage with an MPPT controller. Under 500 watts I'd pick the Rogue 3048
Below 800 watts I'd pick the Tristar MPPT 60 amp unit.
Over 800 watts I'd pick the midnight solar 90 amp unit.
I would probably pick a poly panel rather than mono, because field testing seems to indicate the poly does better in low light. I'd pick the lowest cost per watt.

I'm a DIY type so I plan on doing this myself.
