It would be a waste of money for me to buy a 30A Rogue for just the 300W for example because any subsequent panel couldn't be added to it unless the Vmp was really closely matched and most of the small panels are NOT 30+V. I might end up wasting watts potential because of controller expense. I thought I had a roof pic already but I'll take one tonight and post.
If it is just about saving money.... good luck. Better to just get the right equipment from the get go.
