Growatt 24V SPF 3000TL LVM - solar loads - am I overthinking this?

Greetings all! I feel I've pretty much landed on this unit as serving my needs very well. It says its rated for 2KW solar and I'm planning to use 4x425W panels for 1700W total, 2px2s. Here's the panel specs.

Power at MPP: Pmpp = 425W

Short Circuit Current: Isc = 10.78A

Open Circuit Voltage: Voc = 49.09V

Current at MPP: Impp = 10.27A

Voltage at MPP: Vmpp = 41.39V

Is it really that straight forward with a unit like this? I'm a little nervous about how simple it seems with this guy. It will be tied to a 3x24v 100ah lithium battery bank. I'd love for someone to confirm my logic before I pull the trigger on all these components. My bus is dying for some good solar! :)

Do you have a specific question? All your components seem to work together. Probably put the panels in 2S2P.
 
If that is your power plan to run an aircraft carrier...you are not overthinking it and should keep thinking ;)

That your components would work together is just a matter of meeting the minimum input voltage of the solar charge controller and NOT exeeding the maximum voltage...also you have a charge controller that can match the chemistry of your battery bank.
Everything after that is the tricky part that messes everybody up...when the expected output power faaarrrrrr exceeds the realistic input power people get sad e.g., that they cannot charge their telsa with a panel mounted on the car roof hehe

I'm just looking for a confirmation that the 2kw controller in this unit can handle the 1700w. And yes it will be in 2p2s configuration. It seriously seems too easy!

Ya well I've got roof of my bus is relatively clean and I can get these panels for so cheap. $295 CAD delivered. So I figure why not put what will comfortably fit and end up with something that could run one of the AC units. The capability of the unit it just very surprising!
 
Everything is correct and will work, have fun. Your batteries shouldn't ever worry about depletion.
