Expanding an existing small array

[RepWI]

About three years ago I set up a six panel array. This is tied to the grid. I would like to add a few more panels and need some technical advise.

I have six Jinko panels each tied together with separate Darfon microinverters. The panels are rated at 310 watts. I bought them used and do not know how old they are. A web search leaves me to believe I will not find that exact panel again.

I have room to add maybe three more panels. I need some guidance please.

As I seek to purchase more panels must I stay with a panel rated at 310?

Must I use the same Darfon microinverters as my original build?

Is my process to be used simple plug n play? Would I simply disconnect the existing AC tree cable and connect to the new set?

What information might I need to supply?

If using micro inverters you can mix and match because essentially each panel/inverter combo is its own little system. kind of like different lightbulbs

Very well explained Durk. It comes down to affordability per watt.
