I know with batteries you need to use the same ones in a bank.
However, with solar panels does it matter? I have 2 Nature Power 165 watt batteries now. I want to add 2 100 watt panels is this ok?
The panels came with SAE connectors on them and I purchased a SAE Y to MC4 adapter and connected them to the solar cable coming into the house.
If I get 2 more panels (maybe Renogy which probably would be MC4 connectors) will it be correct to use another Y adapter cable like now but purchase another Y adapter cable to put all 4 in Parallel?
I know this is a little confusing. Main thing I want to know is if panels of different brands and wattage can be combined on the same 2 wires going into the same PWM?
