I'm currently running a 160 watt panel mounted to the Yakima tracks of my camper with the panel plugged into the roof top plug. I'm wanting to buy another 100 watt panel to use as a portable panel that would be deployed whenever we needed it and it would be plugged into the plug located on the rear wall of the camper.
The wires for each of the panels would terminate directly into the Sunsaver MPPT controller and they would not be wired in parallel or series. My interpretation is that by going this route there's no need to be concerned with whether the panels are close to the same voltage as you would do if you were running them in parallel or series.
Is there anything else I am missing? There's no worries with the controller as it can handle an input of more than 15 amps, but will only output 15 amps max. Right now my 160 watt panel produces between 6-9 amps and with the additional 100 watt panel that should increase to 10-15 amps.
