Please forgive me in advance for the simplicity of this question. I really want to ensure I'm getting this right.
First the gear in question.
2x - Jackery 100w SolarSaga portable panels
1 - Bluetti EB240/Rich Solar X1500 Solar Generator.
Our intention is to connect the Jackery panels in Parallel in order to charge the Solar Generator. The idea is to allow each panel to continue providing power in the event the "other" panel is somehow shaded or underperforming during the day. Based on the math for panels in Parallel, the combined Amperage for these two panels is 11.1A which ever so slightly exceeds the 10A rating of the Solar Generator.
I've seen Will state that most MPPT controllers can handle a small amount of overage. Technically speaking, this constitutes about 11% more Amps than the rated input. Am I overthinking this or should we consider switching to Panels in Series in order to stay under the Input Amperage limit?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
