And by hooking two panels in series I'd double the voltage and keep the max current lower than a parallel configuration. Why would you want to do that? If I have not forgotten to much of what I thought I knew, don't amps charge a battery, da volts jus do the push. Lessee...95W/ +/- 15 V ( nominal charging volts out) = 6.3A per panel. That means less loss in the wire. Thought they suggested 10 gauge....considering that's good for 30 A. ...How long is your wire run? What I don't know is if one of the panels is blocked, will that hurt the output of the other panel? Well each panel will probably have a diode in the output line...but lets say you have two batteries in series 2 -12 v = 24 and if one was 6 and the other 12 what would you have.? 18 maybe? Now I will butt out...good luck in whatever you decide to do. Carl HIbbard **************Hurry! April 15th is almost here. File your Federal taxes FREE with TaxACT.
