Replacing current 30A with MPPT controller - make sense?

Some of you have followed other posts of mine re: solar, and satellite, so hope this additional inquiry elicits similarly helpful info... If I knew then what I suspect now, I'd have had the Dealer ...

I missed it. Sorry. Your current solar panels can generate 8.7 amps each which is 26.1 at max for three. Add a fourth panel then they cduld do 34.8 amps, and that exceeds your current controller’s capacity, correct? Don’t add a panel with your current equipment. Check wiring too. You need to do some reading on RV solar before asking more questions.
