I have just purchased new SunPower flexible solar panels spec'd as follows.
2x 50w panels - Ipmax 2.78A, Vpmax 18V, Isc 3.4, Voc 21.6V
2x 100w panels - Ipmax 5.56A, Vpmax 18V, Isc 6.2, Voc 21.6V
The selection was based on available space to mount them.
My initial thinking was to wire them all up in series to my new Tracer 3210A EPsolar 30A MPPT Solar Charge Controller 12V 24V but I'm now reading I may have problems due to the different watts and currents.
Can I connect the two 50w panels in series and then wire them in parallel with the other two 100w panels?
Pros vs Cons?
Will there be any degradation in the system?
I would greatly appreciate input on making this work with the best efficiency and performance.
Thanking you all from a solar newbie.
