This is what you said,
"So I totally get the wiring now! This looks easy. Now lets talk amps. Each panel is 18.38v/8.82 amps. Do the amps triple like the voltage? Adding up to a theoretical high of 26.46 amps? Or do the amps stay an 8.82?"
Now that we have the link to the real specs, it is easy to see where you got mixed up, which in turn, made no sense to us.
So what do you want to know, now that is sorted out?
What I wanted to know is what "Pianotuna" posted:
"volts in series rise; amps in series do not rise
Amps in parallel rise; volts in parallel do not rise.
And watts stay the same.
Output from the panels wired in series in theory will be:
55.14 volts and 8.82 amps.
In real life, you may see 55.14 volts and 6 or 7 amps at solar noon.
In the morning you may see 55.14 volts and 1 or 2 amps."
All Good the minute he posted that.
Thanks,
