Check the specs, but you may exceed the allowable input voltage on your controller.
OK, from my Renogy manual "Maximum Solar Input 12V@520W | 24V@1040W". I guess that means I can't wire another in series?
You need to add the Voc of the three panels and compare to Vmax on the Renogy.
You have the manual right?
If you want to put all three in parallel the Renogy will probably just clip power at the Imax rating.
