I am trying to educate myself on the solar systems. I am having a problem putting together a system of more than 800 watts (100 watt panels)at two lines of four panels (in my mind). I think I would like a system using 48v in order to keep the cable size down and allow the longer cable run. This would require an MPPT controller like your Blue Sky to convert the 48v to 12v? Am I on the right trail? Education needed.

Dennis the panels I use are 72.9 volts which allowed me to run a smaller cable to the Midnight Classic charge controller.
The follow link would help answer some of your questions. https://handybobsolar.wordpress.com/...d-up-so-angry/
