Can I add different arrays into a combiner box? For example 2 panels that are in series and 2 panels that are parrell. All the panels are same power etc.

A combiner box is basically a box for paralleling multiple strings of panels. You don't want to parallel different voltage and amperage inputs. What are you trying to accomplish by mixing different inputs?2.2kw Suntech mono, Classic 200, NEW Trace SW4024 -
But I want to add 2 more panels exact same make power etc. so what I would like to know is do I need to run those 2 new panels as parrell or can I run them as a series and connect them to the combiner box?Comment

No. You said , using matching panels you are trying to combine a series pair and two in parallel, correct? The series pair will have twice the voltage and half the current as the paralleled pair.2.2kw Suntech mono, Classic 200, NEW Trace SW4024Comment

I am have limited resources in mc connectors and supplies but somehow managed to get a hold of a combiner box and 2 extra panels, . So where I have 6 panels in parrell not using a combiner box, I have the mc4 connectors that are 3 prong to create 6 panels in parrell as i have all types of shading issues.
But I want to add 2 more panels exact same make power etc. so what I would like to know is do I need to run those 2 new panels as parrell or can I run them as a series and connect them to the combiner box?
Try describing, in better detail, your system and goals and maybe somebody will chime in to help.2.2kw Suntech mono, Classic 200, NEW Trace SW4024Comment
