Adding Extra Solar Panels To A GP-CEP Roof Entry Setup

Question:

I have 2 gopower panels on my roof that are connected with MC4 connectors into a GP-CEP roof entry. Is it possible to add another panel without any impact on the GP-CEP roof entry? Cant figure how that would work even though I know one side is positive and one negative.

You can add additional panels to your system but you first have to ensure that the total amps from the panels won't exceed what your Solar Controller can handle. Once you know that it you can easily plug in the expansion branch from panel to panel and if you need to place the panels further apart we also offer a 3' long and 10' long connector.
