Gary, this may be a dumb question - if so don't hesitate to say so. :)
Where I live (right in the middle of the US and a couple hundred miles
north), there is considerable wind, probably 300 days out of the year.
On the days when it's calm, the sun is usually shining brightly in the
summer sky.

5 amps is a pretty hefty load. Try to cut that down by combining radios
to one power supply or eliminate unnecessary stuff.
Remember the solar charge time in winter is only from 10 AM to 2 PM the
rest of the day the charge is much less.
You are burning 1/3 of the charging in the load, not muc
When you hook things up in series (solar panels, batteries etc.) you
increase the voltage. 12vdc + 12vdc = 24vdc.
When you hook them up in parallel you increase the amps. 200ah + 200ah =
400ah.
So if you need a 24vdc plant then you hook them up like you currently have
with 2x12vdc in series to

You probably need more Sun, or less load.
It sounds like you have it wired correctly.
The panels should tilt south about the same angle as your Lattitude.
Up here on the canadian border we are at 48 degrees lattitude so the
panels tilt about 45 degrees.
In the summer they lay flat.

So i'm trying to figure out what i need more of, voltage or current?
I have 2x, 300 watt, 24vdc panels. I currently have them wired in
parallel to a Morningstar SS20L-24 which in turn is hooked up to 4
banks of 2x 12vdc deep cycle batteries (for a 24vdc system). I plan on
replacing these batterie
