Hi Guys,
I've been reading about panels for a small business setup and I'm not making a lot of progress. I'd like to use a blue sky energy controller because I have used them before and they have lasted a very long time in abysmal conditions. I'm hoping someone could double check my understanding on 3 points.
Point 1: How many 100 watt panels can I connect to this controller?
Is this right: 4 panels x 5.29A = ~21A because 21A < 25A which is the controller's max.
100W 12V Panel (5.29A/short circuit 5.75A):

2000E Controller:

Point 2: Now if I want to have 2 of these controllers, the 2000E, connected to the same set of batteries will they conflict because they don't support a master/slave configuration?
Point 3: What is the difference between the 2000E and the 3000i?
It seems like they'd both only support 4 of the 100Watt panels above.
3000i Controller:

Thanks for your time,
