Better make sure the combined maximum voltage of your three solar panels in series does not exceed the maximum voltage input specifications of your solar charge regulator. If they do, then you need install them all in parallel instead.
Right. I have run my three 100w (22Voc each) in series ok at 66Voc with my Tracer MPPT (can do 90-100) but can't with my Eco-Worthy MPPT ( can only do 42 --but newer ones can do 50)
As it happens, amps to the battery is the same whether in series or parallel in my set-up. Also get the same amps to the battery with the three in parallel and using my Solar30 PWM ( approx 18.6 amps at best)
