Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I just had 2 100 panels installed on our Thor RV. Came with 10 amp controller and prewired. It keeps the 4 batteries charged and frig running. our Frig pulls like .8 to .9 amps when running. Looking at upgrading to 6 more panels and 40 am controller and then start investing money in some Lithium batteries.
