| Experienced Member  |  Different solar panels I have 10w and 30w solar panels. Also I have a charge controller. Can I connect parallel the different power panels directly. Do they effect each other? Will there be problem electrically. Do i have to use at least one diode ? Best regards. |

| Experienced Member | They don't effect each other as long each panel has its own diode make sure you controler can handel the power but 40 W in total should not be a problem for the most controlers Robert-Jan |
