LV6048 MPPT + 4 x 200W Solar Panels: Best Panel Wiring Config

[SIGEPJEDI]

Curious recommendations on wiring configuration as having all 4 panels in series is over the LV6048's max solar voltage.

A mixed configuration, 2 in Series + 2 in Series, then all wired together in Parallel - This is just over the Max Voltage

I could use the second PV controller on the LV6048 and have two sets of 2 panels in series.... This just seems like a lot of wires for basic? functionality of 4 panels.

Specs of both LV6048 MPPT and Solar panels are attached below.

Thanks in advance for recommendations and best approach.

You should be able to put 3 in series and then parallel. I have same unit and have 12 panel 4 arays of 3 in series and then parallel.

I would get a combiner box and connect all panels to box and then 2 cables neg and pos to the controller from that box

Thats how i have it. But shuts down solar once batts are full.

2S2P will be fine.
