RE: Solar Panel

I thought I had it all sorted out and emailed my electrician to confirm that it would be best to connect 2 x 24V solar panels in series to the MPPT controller and 24V battery bank (this was discussed earlier on in this thread- and which was my understanding as well).

He replied that parallel connection of the panels would be the correct way - even after questioning him. I must admit that I did not go that deep into the questioning since I neeeded to verify my information - hence this reply.

So what is the best way to do it - parallel or series - with the MPPT controllers?
