    You can add panels if they are matched up. Problem is you cannot add batteries. So as you add panels, you will need to replace the battery or batteries as you grow with larger batteries.

        If your 100 watt panel Voc and Vmp is matched with whatever other panel you are interested in, you can add more panels in parallel. With a C35 controller you should be able to input up to about 500 watts assuming standard 12 volt battery panels with a Voc = 22 volts and Vmp = 18 volts. Not certain that is a vintage panel no longer made or used much.
