Complete newbie looking for input. Basing design off "RV with Tito" recent install but using 8 Nature Power 215 watt panels purchased from Home Depot when they were on sale. I was going to wait for 24V version of Multiplus II 2-120 but it keeps getting delayed and I want to get on with install.
Would appreciate everyone's thoughts on panel wiring and charge controllers. I've considered wiring the 8 panels 2s4p and using one charge controller (150/100) or 2 x 2S2P with 2 charge controllers (150/60). Leaning towards the configuration drawn using 4 charge controllers for redundancy and resiliency.
Installing on a 34' Beaver Monterey with a fiberglass roof so planning to use VHB / channel strut mounting with z-brackets to attach panels to channel strut. Went with the physically smaller panels to maximize wattage I can fit on roof around existing equipment. Aware I need to be careful about shading which is another reason I'm leaning towards 4 charge controllers.
Look forward to everyone's input and discussion.
