No, you should only ever interconnect identical model panels.

I would always recommend buying/installing solar panels in even numbers when possible and avoid ever mixing solar panels together on an electrical circuit. Each model of solar panel has its own characteristics, its own voltage and its own amperage/current, and if you mix them together the best case scenario is that you only get the performance of the lowest outputting panel, worst case is that you fry the panel with the lowest amperage / current rating. And that raises another important point, if you are ever using more than two panels, always connect fuses to your solar panel wiring to prevent damage and fires.

You can however, have completely different types of panels connected to the same -system-, provided each group is on their own independent charge controller, and each charge controller is outputting the same voltage to the battery.

They aren't going to be using a single 100w panel to do that.

Seems like Acopower is having a sale (with an extra coupon) on most of their panels on Amazon is you're not interested in the extra stuff.

This one comes with a charge controller and I don't belive the paxcess does. If you don't already have a charge controller then this deal may be better with easier setup.

Here's another good mono panel that is a more compact size - 28"x28", so much easier to use than the 20x40 panels.

Also pride is solid at $83

I like this kit with case controller and stand for camping and it says I can add another panel but can it be any 100w panel?

seems like a pretty good deal to me, all the other cheaper options aren't portable or even have any mounts to prop them up
