Putting 2 50 watt panels in series with a 100 watt panel on the same controller

[Tiny GPS]

I have a Renagy 100w panel and want to add two 50 watt panels (in series to make 100 watts) on the same controller.
My main concern is that my 50w panels in series will be higher voltage then my 100w panel, is that something I need be concerned about?

PS poor nomad using what is available

Thanks

Why not put them in parallel with no voltage increase? Are the 50w panels the same or similar to the 100w panel?

Will that not drop my 100w panel to 50w?

When like panels are connected in parallel no one panel is restricting the output of any other panels.

With all three panels in parallel you will get the full output of each/all panels assuming they are the same power rating.

Read this article which will help you understand the variances between series and parallel wiring.
