I did not mean to give you the idean that AGM or FLA are bod options. That's not it. The chemistry and limitations are what they are and with a array wattage of less than 1000 watts I think you may have difficulty getting through the absorption phase during harvesting unless under absolutely optimum conditions. While you may begin bulk charging between 0830-0900 and you may go from 50 to 80% by 12-1300... it will be that last 20% that will take at least twice as long as the bulk phase to complete and the sun has peaked and is getting lower and lower in the horizon as the day goes on. It just is what it is but don't let that stop you. Just like series vs parallel it's a trade off and choices that meet your needs.
