Hannu,
My thoughts on the solar panels was that smaller panels are more robust with more structural support to stand up to a storm. What is your experience with the panels in high winds/high seas?
Also, was considering flexible mono-crystalline panels to reduce weight above the waterline, especially in a bimini type setup.
Five 100w panels in series is the minimum configuration with the MPPT buck charger to a 48V system for most of the usable day. Only 4 panels would make the MPPT much less effective.

Highly recommend rethink re panel size.
Bigger panels are much more efficient due to losses
Biggest possible panel in watts == best.
So, a 330W panel vs 4 x 100, for 400W, the single panel will
probably
produce quite a bit more power, in the real world.
And higher voltage = better.
