Doesn't the controller need the batts to be the same voltage as the panels, per PWM, no buck converter? You can do 24/24 or 12/12, but not 24/12.
You are allowed to have 24/24 in the rig if you can get 12v out of it all for running the 12v rig. (various options for that)
Yes, I was talking of going 24/24 with a single SC2030 and Trimetric. Sounds like it would work well. Currently am 24/12 with my Rogue.
If we ever decide to use more Ah, like buying a 2000W inverter, I would seriously consider the upgrade, as right now, even my Rogue can't handle all the 700W Solar. But that would be an expensive upgrade (24V inverter, 24-12V converter, new batts that don't V sag so much at 70A inverter draw, etc.) and ain't goin to happen any time soon, if ever. But I do like to day-dream.:)
