Scott,
Apologies these questions steer away from the thread title, you just
mentioned some points in your response relevant to a current project I'm on.

I'm in the middle of going down the solar panel rabbit hole.  I currently
have all the struts and mounts for the davits installed (garhauer).  I have
ordered all the parts for the support structure for the panels that will
mount to the davits.  I'm days away from ordering my panels.  And couple of
weeks away from ordering my controllers.

I'm curious which controllers you went with (I'm looking at, and will
likely go with the Victron Energy).  And what monitor panel you will be
using.

The controllers I'm looking at take a max wire size of 10 AWG.  The wire
from one of the panels will be about 25'.  Not happy about running 10 AWG
that far, but the Victron's that take larger AWG nearly double in price.

Thanks,
Christian Caperton
