One booster and one controller per panel is the way to go. That will minimize any shading issues.
I have the sailboat kit from Thunderstruck-EV, configured for 96v upon their advice for my power needs. Had I known the grief it would cause trying to find the electronics for 96v, I would never have gone with this. Unfortunately, I've already installed he ME1616 and had a custom gearbox machined for it. It would cost thousands to reconfigure the system for two 48v motors at this point.

I'm trying to set up the solar system rn, and wondering if anyone else has done this. I bought four Hyundai panels, bifacial, 48VOC. I thought I was going to just hook them up in series, but it's been pointed out to me that partial shading of the solar array would shut the whole thing down. So, as a starting point, I made a design:

Having a heck of a time finding a DC-DC converter with a ~100v output. Saw one on Amazon, (DROK DC Boost Converter 900W) with a prominent warning label about frequent returns.?

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. If anyone has done this, would greatly appreciate your advice.
