reconsidering recomendataions on solar
so after 1 year using my solar my outcome is a little less than expected. I have 2 100W panels mounted on front slope of roof, and 1 additional panel mounded flat on roof behind the DS panel that i...

With a PWM controller you'd be better off running the panels in parallel. The higher voltage does you no good, other than cut losses in wiring. The loss across your 6' of wire is going to be minimal (.008 ohms to be precise). The PWM controller is basically a fast switch that pulses the current to limit the average voltage going into the battery. You'd be better off with the panels in parallel giving you more continuous current going into the battery as the PWM controller doesn't have to limit the voltage as much.
