As stated above, as long as your charge controller can handle the higher panel voltage and still output 12 volts to your batteries (which is what MPPT controllers are meant to do) the biggest problem to watch for is potential shading issues.
Question; with that wattage, can you run at least one air? We are considering 1200 watts with the Magnum controller and I believe it still won't run an air.
