1-1/0AWGCABLE-1FT - 1ft 1/0AWG Inverter/Charger Cables
1- SCC110050210 - SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 Charge Controller with Bluetooth
1-1/0AWGCABLE-4FT - 4ft 1/0AWG Inverter/Charger Cables
looking for panels know i need fuses and other parts but looking to match panels
800w
so my question is
2 400w
4 200w
8 100w
I look at like this the bigger the better but that might not be true I’m very new to this
Thanks

Have you done an energy audit? What all do you plan to power? Do you plan on adding more solar later?

Typically, more watts per panel is desirable, but your use case should be taken into consideration. Where will you place them and how much space do you have to place them? Here are a few statistics you can use to compare panels:

calculate price per watt
calculate watts per square foot
compare panel dimensions with the amount of space you have for installation
consideration and plan for future expansion (if intended)

Comparing these should give you a more finite direction.
