Hey there! I am new to the forum and have used a lot of post already for assistance. I am just looking for some constructive criticism or finding errors with my planned set up. Most interested in sizing of the wires/breakers, wiring of the solar array, or ways to become more efficient if needed. I have put together the attached file in hopes to make things a little clearer. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Some key notes:
Battery Bank (2ea 12v200ah AMG batteries wired in parallel for 12v400ah)
40A MPPT Charge Controller (Max input Volts = 100v & Max input watts 520w)
4ea x 100W solar panel (Operating volts = 20.4v & Operating amps = 4.91a & open circuit volts = 24.3v)
-Note first real question planning for all series which comes out to 97.2v & 4.91a & 400w is this ok with my controller since it falls within specs or too close to the 100v max input? If I run a hybrid P&S scheme my math worked out to 48v & 9.82a & 400w. Is this hybrid scheme a better route? If so please explain?

Load List:

Here is what I came up with along with additional calcs etc. Cable sizes further below in my crude schematic, looking for guidance please!.
