I have four Lifeline deep cycle AGM batteries for 600 Ah at 12V and I will probably expand that when I replace the batteries in the future. If I've done my math correctly I should be able to run four 170W x 18V panels through the 30A wiring if I run two pair of panel series and parallel like the batteries.
Two panels in series will be fine, 340 / 36 = 9.4 amps. 10 ga wire can carry 30 amps.
