Interest in mismatched panel test?
Ever since I got my first set of mismatched panels, seeing then react to different conditions convinced me they would interfere with a MPPT controllers ability to track. With the TS-MPPT-60 I could lo...

Only PV devices having the same current output should be connected in series. When similar devices are connected in series, the voltage output of the entire string is the sum of the voltages of the individual devices, while the current output for the entire string remains the same as for a single device.
When PV devices with dissimilar current outputs are connected in series, the devices with lower current absorb current from the devices with higher current output. This results in a loss of power, and potential overheating and damage to the lower-current output devices.
