Hey y’all, hit a stump in the road.
I want to connect CIGS 2x ( 200watt 24v in parallel) to two sets of Mono ( 2x 200 watt 12v in series =24v) &( 2x100watt 12v in series =24v)…
Is there a major problem with mixing the three different types( particularly cigs with mono)of solar panels if they are all 24v? ( I’ve heard of minor amp loss problems) but that doesn’t worry me. Branching(12awg connectors) them together onto 8 awg then onto charger ?
Thx a bunch.
 
Panels in parallel need to be at the same Vmp (±10%, but will get that % as a penalty to the whole array)
Panels in series will operate at the current of the lowest rated panel in the string.

Poly, mono, bifacial, CIGS, Gallium Arsenide are all irrelevant.
