wire 2 pannels in series and 1 in paralell to use mppt amps?

[patdufo1]

I have 2 solar panels 30v each wired to 60v series but am not using much more than half my amps of MPPT charge controller,if I add the 3rd pannel it puts it a few volts over its maximum,can I wire the third pannnel in paralell?if I do what will the voltage end up?hate waisting so much of the charge controller capacity,I have a 24v battery bank,thanks

If your MPPT CC can handle the input voltage then wire all 3 of those panels in series.

If not then you would be better off using 4 panels wired 2S2P.

No. You need a 4th panel to do what you want. (2S2P)

Okay thanks,4 panels puts me to the max for wattage but I have 4 235w panels I can do that with and stay below,that will free up 1 controller,as it is now I have 9
