I didn't say anything about doubling the solar output. I said I want to start with 2 x 295W panels and might want to add more ... as in more solar, not necessarily more of the 295W units
Ok.
By the way, I haven't seen a mention of what brand these panels are, but that much wattage usually comes in 24 or 36v. Is that what you're looking at?
The only 295w panel I can find is nominal 36v. The good news is that you're dealing with much less amperage, bad news is you need a controller to handle it, and it's going to make it tough if you want to add smaller 12v panels to your array.
