Connecting Dissimilar 12V Panels In Parallel
My son has 2 Kyocera 80W 16.9V 4.97A panels in parallel with 30’ of 10 ga wire one way to the controller. And he has 2 new Renogy 100W 18.9V 5.75A panels. We’re planning parallel and running a second ...

The controller is a Sunforce 30A model 60032 PWM controller. The panels are Renogy RNG-100D 100W and Kyocera KC 80-01 80W.
I believe both panels have bypass diodes which normally would not be a factor for matched parallel panels.
My main concern it parallel panels with a 2V difference and any possible effects on each other including overheating.
