Im getting to the question.....would it be wise to series wire each set of two panels and then parallel, giving me 2 or 3 24 volt arrays? Im just in the "thinking" process now but since I took the first step to measure, may as well ask away....:B
We don't do a lot of dry camping/boondocking but I could do a lot more, I currently have (6) 6 volt batteries.
If all panels are matched you could put all in series. The panels need to have bypass diodes and you will need an MPPT controller. Otherwise I prefer the simplicity of the series configuration.
May as well get lower cost 24v panels from the start.
