Do I need to do a 24v system?Ok but you are buying a 40A SCC which at 12V x 40A is only 480watts panels.
but you have 1000watts panels that will require an 80A SCC. 80A x 12V is 960 watts.
Charge rate of your AGM battery has to be considered too.

Here is the battery I have
Renogy Deep Cycle Agm Battery 12 Volt 200AH for RV, Solar, Marine, and Off-Grid Applications, Gray https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075RGX1WR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_1FXYNWYB4CDW7V5YDP3X
I don’t have a problem losing a panel they where cheap enough.
I do plan to put them facing to different directions
Are your panels flat on the bus roof or are they tilted at an angle?I do plan to put them facing to different directions
All facing the same direction and at the same angle? Pic?Angle
That is the plan 2 east and 2 west I have not installed yet.All facing the same direction and at the same angle? Pic?
As Hedges suggested in post #23, facing half east-ish and half west-ish will spread your solar harvesting across the day and possibly allow you to use and store power more efficiently. All with smaller equipment (less $$).
Are you going to drive and move the bus with tilted panels or is it never moved?That is the plan 2 east and 2 west I have not installed yet.
