I bought a van that already has 2 panels on top. They're the flexible kind and are probably old. I understand these wear out quicker than their rigid counterparts. I'm wondering if I can add a couple more panels in line with them, or would it be better to just replace them since I don't know the specs or anything on the ones up there so can't match them. Judging by the size they're probably 2 100W panels, but according to the controller I'm only getting 2.5 amps out of them maximum. I drained the battery down to 12.7V to see what I could get and the controller read 21V and only 2.5A for the PV. I should be getting a lot more. Are my panels shot?
