    Also i wont be doing this but am curious. If i wanted to tie these two panels into the electrical for my house is it as simple as just getting a grid ties inverter and plugging it into an outlet that can handle the amperage or is that incorrect?

    Darn. I got all wrapped up it explaining the battery charge ratio I didn't respond to your second statement.

    As inetdog states; those cheap grid tie inverters that plug in are illegal in the US and unsafe. Please do not even consider using them.

    A grid tie system needs to meet your Utilities requirements and the local electric code. You can't do that by just putting in a couple of panels and an inverter.

          Ok so i got my MPPT Tristar CC (mppt45), i hooked it up to my 2 batteries (2x145aH AGM in parallel) and to my 2x lg panels (520W output power). I have installed a 50A breaker right before the positive terminal on the battery, am i also supposed to install one on the positive out of the solar array right before the CC, if so what size do i need to install?
