Thx everyone for your input. Good testing environment. 25+C and sunny for 4 straight days. Pretty nice for Alberta in April.

Ya I probably won’t live that long anyway. So do you see any issues with 2P2S as long as I get what I need?

Yes from the panels. Other guys suggest panels wired 2P2S. Seems logical through testing. issue now is the controller. Probably back to your previous concern with Epever tracking. It’s always been an issue with previous FLA batteries not going to bulk properly and not maintaining float even with...

Mmm that could be it. Can you tell anything from this pic? And in the long run would it make a difference in this application? The series seems to be paired sideways.

Connections are all covered. Looking for suggestions for installer to check. Update today, controller wasn’t going to boost, changed boost recovery to 13.5 and then got 15 amps at 40 volts. Tells me both series strings are operating correctly. So on next test, I covered one panel in each...

Battery 280 a/h lithium. About 60% when started charging. Controller set for 14.2, was at 14 pushing 25 amps at start. The 8 amps was from the panels at 42 volts. Still half expected production. I did put the inverter/ charger on for a bit later on to test and it was pushing the 30 amps set...

Thx I’ll check again tomorrow, expecting full sun again. So cover, then disconnect and reconnect panels. Should I turn controller off and on as well? I did allow 1 hour for results between tests but did not switch off/on panels.

Thx I figured wiring, what did he do wrong you think? No shade for 2 days, until dusk, so still could be diodes? Disconnect happened during full sun.

I have 4 of these panels Installed (not me, apparently 2S2P) so expected max 42 volts, 18 amps) identified for experiment as 1,2,3,4. 1-2 in series, 3-4 in series then y connector parallel to controller. Epever 100/40 controller. Admit up front I did not monitor amps, just voltage. Operating...

Thx for that info. Yes the Bluetooth monitoring is a distinct advantage. Can alberta lithium confirm your experience?

Thanks to those that addressed the direct question I asked and/or offered alternatives.

Thanks Do you have any pics of delivered product? Or know what cells/BMS are used?

Replacing my FLA batteries in my RV with lithium. Down to these choices, based on my requirements, location, and budget. Canadian dollars, both are free shipping. I will probably be getting 2 for parallel connection. SOK 206A/H (SK12V206) @ $1345 and the Renogy 200A/H (RBT200LFP12-BT-CA) @ $1249...

Perfect thx a lot. I will do the 2S2P
