OK...first off...WOW...you're setup is VERY impressive. Care to come to Oregon clean up my system? :)

How did you wire/configure this solution back to the RV to provide AC power?

Finally, I need help from the members here, who CLEARLY know more than I do. When I do the math on your setup, I get a final result of 17.7 amps, 24 volts and 600 watts.
* 6 100 Watt - 5.9 amp - 12v panels.
* 2 panels wired in Series would produce -- 200 Watt, 24 volts, 5.9amps (total of 3 sets created from 6 panels)
* Wire those 3 sets in Parallel and you would have -- 600 Watts, 24 volts and 17.7 amps.

Question....am I calculating that correctly? So, I'm guessing your MPPT controller is converting the 600w to additional amps, when your batteries need it.

I am in the process of trying to plan my system for AC. I did all the solar last summer and my project this Summer is to install a transfer switch and a GoPower Pure Sine Inverter.


Morningstar has a great tool for calculating your panels and matching it to your controller.
