Adding Solar.
Hey guys, I just got my first RV! My RV is a 97 Winnebago adventurer. I already own 150 watt solar panel array that charges a 110AH costco deep cycle. The RVs coach batteries are two 75AH deep cycles....

Don't go nuts over looking for a quality MPPT controller, if you have the roof real estate you can just buy a 100-150 watt panel for the cost difference. Now you'll get 25-50 percent increase in output instead of the questionable 5-10 percent gain some people are always touting with MPPT. Panels are cheap!
Just but a decent PWM with enough future capacity so you won't be buying twice.
Thanks!
Someone over at another site said that MPPT could have issues with panels that have different wattage?
Right now I have 3x50 watt Renogy, my next panels will be the Renogy 100 watt ones. Is it possible to have them all in the same array, either in parallel or serial, either with PWN or MPPT? Or should they be 2 different arrays? Should I just sell the 50 watt guys and get all 100 watt panels when I want to upgrade?
