Just a bit of background. I am a newbie to DIY solar, but have been a few months in the planning of an upgraded Victron system in my RV. I have recently received most of the Victron equipment for my install (MPPT, MPII, Lynx, etc) and hoping to receive the last bit of materials soon to start wiring. Some of my equipment I feel is oversized for my current needs (a friend gave me a great deal on his MPPT), but I am hoping it will help when we plan to add an AC and other electrical in the future. I've read Will's book and Victron wiring unlimited and will be closely following an Explorist.Life 24v wiring diagram. My last equipment purchase is going to be the mono solar panels and I am just a bit overwhelmed by trying to fully understand and find a good value in the sea of solar panels available online.
My system would include...
MPPT 250/100-Tr VE.Can
MultiPlus-II 24/5000/120-95 120V
2 x 230ah 24v Litime LiFePO4 (460ah @ 24v)

- What should I look for when ordering solar panels for an oversized MPPT/Inverter?
- Could the oversized MPPT be an issue?
- Is sticking to panels with a voltage in the high 30s the main recommendation (i.e. >1.8x battery bank voltage) or would going with even higher voltages be better (i.e. 405 watts @ 49.6 VOC)?
