    Option 2 or 3 but not 1
    Island cottage solar system with appriximately 2500 watts of panels, 1kw facing southeast 1.3kw facing southwest 170watt ancient Arco's facing due south. All panels in parallel for a 24 volt system. Trace DR1524 MSW inverter which has performed flawlessly since 1994. Outback Flexmax 80 MPPT charge controller four 467A-h AGM batteries. Insignia 11.5 cubic foot electric fridge 1/4hp GSW piston pump. My 31st year.

    Sorry I just noticed the VOC of 35 for the third panel. I have no personal knowledge of the specs on any of these panels, but generally the VOC of the panel has to be greater than the charged voltage of whatever battery you are attempting to charge. Charge controllers are fine down converting voltage from strings of panels but going the other way would require some sort of voltage multiplier that I'm not familiar with.
