I have built into 3 stacking toolboxes (in case portability is needed) 4 Goldenmate 12v 100AH cabled in a 2S2P configuration married with a GIANDEL 24 Volt 2000 Watt Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter, a Renogy Rover 40 Amp 12V/24V DC Input MPPT Solar Charge Controller. I have 3 Newpowa 250w solar panels in series which have an ISC of 17.3A and a VOC of 23.83.
I only bought 3 because thats all that were in stock at the time. I'd like to add another panel but apparently the Newpowa 250V 10BB are no longer available. (Not sure if thats permanent or temporary)...
My Renogy 40 Amp MPPT allows max 1040W @24V and max 100V, (although FAQ states 95V) so a 4th Newpowa would be 95.32V - acceptable IMO.
What am I looking for to determine if I can add a different brand 250V panel to my system, other than maybe the obvious of less than or equal to a VOC of 23.83V? I have 750W leaving a gap to max of 290W but I don't know about mixing voltages in the same series string. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
