On a roof with tilt brackets, ripped off or not money is not the issue. ?

I don't know how your getting only 12.9a with 400 watts, I had a different set up 400 watts with the newpowa and renogy 200 watt and I was getting 20-25amps sometimes 28 amps peak, so that's why I'm trying to set this the way I'm doing it. Doubling that output puts me at 60 amps.

Also I payed $500 for 10 bb panels I'd been shoping around for quite some time and this is what I'm going with for this build.

Also this is about the closest I can find on Amazon but I can't find anything for just two panels

OK so one thing I'm trying to understand with the y slit is if I'm capable of producing a full 60 amps from both panels, does the 30 amp rating apply to the total? Or is it 30 amp per branch? Also I was looking for something higher with the possibility of using these soare panels I have from...

Yeah, I'm going to just stick with the 400. Watt panels, my question is how I'm going to parallel wire the two panels together with a proper branch connector that can handle the maximum capability 800 watts can put out. From reviews and videos I've seen of these panels. They can produce over 400...

Looks like that combiner box is not going to be able to handle 30 to 40 amps from the 400 watt panels. Been looking at those too and it's be been challenging to find

I've been looking on Amazon for parallel branch connectors, but none of them will work for the 800 watts, So I want to go with this bus bar To act as the parallel branch connector for my solar panels. Looks like I need something for 2 panels. Would this work?

Am I supposed to wire the two hundred watt panels together in the series as its own string? And then run the other 400 watt panels in parallel?

So how do I do this? Because i'm about to buy this bus bar Joinfworld Heavy Duty 500A Bus Bar Waterproof Power Distribution Block with 2*5/16"(M8)+2*3/8"(M10) Studs 48V DC Automotive Marine Battery Terminal distribution Block with Cover - Negative&Positive https://a.co/d/9f4zCY3 How should I...

Hope this works found 2 so far

Parallel

Okay I am wondering if I could mix these three solar panels together? Would I lose efficiency? I'm coming up with a game plan on how to wire them. I have one of these Renogy 200 Watt 12 Volt... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RFQVB9M?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I have one of these Newpowa 200W...

Found the solution Joinfworld Heavy Duty 500A Bus Bar Waterproof Power Distribution Block with 2*5/16"(M8)+2*3/8"(M10) Studs 48V DC Automotive Marine Battery Terminal distribution Block with Cover - Negative&Positive https://a.co/d/9f4zCY3

But all it takes is one panel in the array to effect the whole system. And what's the point which panel's i bought? 10bb 400 watt to just go series? I paid a lot for the panels. I don't care if I have to pay more for the wiring. I just need to know how to do it. Because I can't find any parts...
