[QUOTE=littleharbor2;n439670]If it were me, I would do some scenarios to see where the tradeoff would be to buy a MPPT controller that could run a higher voltage so I could use smaller wire on those long runs. The saving in wire might pay for a new controller. If I recall, MPPT controllers are more efficient than PWM type controllers?

MPPT, watts in = watts out, minus a few percent.
PWM, x amps in @ any voltage = x amps out @ battery voltage. The bigger the voltage differential the more loss of efficiency.2 Kw PV Classic 200, Trace SW 4024 460ah,Comment
