Hey
@Zwy, I just wanted to say thanks again for your reply on this thread. I was skeptical, but at your advice I did go shopping again, and found the unusual Renogy 100W "Slim" panels. These are only 13.8" wide! So I went back to playing "Rooftop Tetris" again and you are so right! I was able to fit another 200W on the roof by using them. 25% more solar power (a bit more expensive, but well worth it). So I'm very grateful for your nudge in this direction. Also, FYI, I watched a great video from a guy at Victron Energy (
). Toward the end he explained why more smaller panels in series generates power starting sooner in the morning and charges later into the afternoon too. So that's another reason for going with 10 x 100W versus 4 x 200W. Here's the layout I have planned with these "slim" panels) in case you are interested:
