Good day, in 2016 I bought two 250w solar panel the next year I went to buy some more panel but the retailer was out of 250w so they suggest some 265w solar panels they explain that they would be equal to the 250w panel that I already had wen I connect them, so I bought 4 of them. So now I want to add more panel, the retailer is saying the don't have any 265w or 250w, they only have 335w and higher. So my question is can those panel be used?
 
Model number? or user manual? We need to see the specification of the panels and the All in one.
 
The simplest option may be to add a standalone charge controller just for the new panels. This leaves all of your existing setup in place.

Could it charge the same battery bank? I have a Schneider charge controller that I change out with the all in one solar inverter.

Yes. It's fine to have multiple charge sources. There are people with 3 or more charge controllers in one system charging a single battery bank.

The second SCC is one option.

Another would be to go online and find similar panels and buy two.

A third option would be to sell your existing panels and buy six nicely priced new 300W panels or maybe better: eight or ten used 250 or 300W panels (which are very inexpensive).
