Looks like I may need to accept a 4.75% voltage drop on my run of two Renogy 175W flexible panels in series. (23.9Voc/19.5Vmp/9.5A Ioc/8.98A Imp) Single string, both in series. But is this acceptable when connected to a Renogy Rover 40A MPPT controller and Sok 12V 100Ah LiFePo4 battery? I won't get the entire capacity of the system but I should get at least 90% right? Because panel voltage is about 2x what the battery is, I should have overhead.
I intend to cycle the system to 20% SOC daily, my daily insolation is 4.5 hours, peak efficiency of the controller is 98%, so if all is perfect I should be able to recharge 80% every day, so this might mean I'm down to something like 75% right? I can tolerate that.
