I took time to do a better rough 3D of the 45' Catamaran we plan to buy.
With 16 panels 640W that look good for a 10.2 kW array.
Pattern should be 2 panels in serie for Vmp around 73V and 17.5A. Add another 2 panels in serie to create a parallel string of 73V 35A connected to a Victron 150/45.
Do this 4 times and that seem good.
The surface of panels compare to the surface of the Cat on water look good to me as they don't take all the space.
