Hello. I have 2 Furrion solar panels 165w each on my roof with a 50a Furrion charge controller. I know I can add a couple more panels on the controller . As I look at the specs for the current panels, one was factory installed and one dealer installed and I see mismatched specs. Panel one is 165w, vmp18.7v, lmp 8.82a, voc 23.12v, lsc 9.49a. Panel two is 165w, vmp 19.4v, lmp 8.5a, voc 28.83v, lsc8.91a. My question is can I add two non-Furrion 180w panels:
I know ideally one shouldn’t mix if possible and there will be some system loss but are these proposed panels within standard since nothing matches?
