Smkettner, maybe I am better off to run 4 x 135W panels in parallel. That way, for those times when one is partially shaded, I will still have the full, output from the remaining 3 panels. I think I will have to modify the wiring by placing a joiner box on the roof then run big cable (#4) from the joiner box down to the controller to minimize the drop in voltage. The main reason that I originally connected them in series was because I could run from the panels all the way to the controller via the #10 gauge MC4 leads with a 24 vdc supply. Since I am transferring the panels to my new coach, now is the time to make the wiring upgrade. With #4 from the roof top down to the controller I think I preserve all my options. Your opinion?
