    Like this topic, so I'm sticking.
    How to connect it, monocrystalline panels, in series or in parallel, which will be more optimal.
    With parallel, which diode to use (? A)

    The controller is TRACER MPPT 40A.
    12V installation (motorhome) and one AGM 100AH battery for now (there may be a second one, and switching to charging the starter battery).


    1. Pmax = 288W; Vmp = 32.52V; Imp = 8.91A; Voc = 38.52V; Isc = 9.40A
    2. Pmax = 264W; Vmp = 31.80V; Imp = 8.29A; Voc = 37.56V; Isc = 8.70A

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around connecting a 5W polycrystalline photovoltaic (PV) panel with a 10W monocrystalline panel and a charging regulator. Users express concerns about compatibility due to differing voltages and currents. It is generally agreed that connecting panels with similar output voltages in parallel is feasible, although some caution against significant voltage differences. Suggestions include using diodes to prevent backflow and potential damage. Additional queries arise regarding connecting multiple panels of different types and voltages, with advice emphasizing the importance of matching voltages and currents to avoid inefficiencies and damage.
