Compatibility of different mfg panels

[tom baker]

I have a 20 foot class B RV (same size as an Amazon delivery van) It has 2 100 watt flexible panels glued to the roof for PV power.
I am replacing a GoPower panels with a Renology Panel as the Renology is 1/2 the price and same warranty.
Both panels are Flexible Moncrystalline , 100 W.
The Gopower Vmp is 17.5, Ocv 21.0. Isc 6.31
Renology Vmp is 18.9, Ocv 22.5 , IsC 5.75
Panels will be wired in parallel to a 30 amp solar controller
Are the specs close enough on the different mg panels to work together?

A solar controller would have to have a relatively loose input tolerance to function.

Is parallel operation a generally acceptable connection for solar panels? Ask Renology.

 

[tom baker]

Parallel is common. I will ask Renology and check into solar controller specs

Those specs should be close enough. Your charge controller will probably find a voltage in between the two, unless it is a really simple PWM controller and then it is probably not getting full power out of the panels anyway. The Renology will cause the GoPower will be slightly biased opposite normal polarity (not sure I'm really using the right terminology there) but with the small difference it should not mean a lot.
