Connect different solar panels with the same performance data?
Hello, I've already successfully connected three identical solar panels (200 watts, 18V, 11A) in series. Now I'd like to add another one. However, since my space is limited, none of the existing panels would fit. I've now found another 200 watt panel that's the right size for me and also has an 18V, 11A rating. Now to my question: does it work like this? So, different solar panels that all have the same performance data (18V, 11A)? Or do they behave differently in some way? The short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage might be different for one panel, but unfortunately I can't check that because no information was provided. Does that make a difference?
Thanks in advance!

These are not a few numbers as performance data, but a complete characteristic along with parameters such as temperature, etc.
All that is not congruent can then apply to all in the smallest size.
As a rule, similar data should still be more than if you leave the panel.
Are 200 Watt 18V 11 A/solar panel or all 3?
Hi, so I already have 3 same panel with 200 watts at 18v 11a, and want to clamp a fourth to it, which is from another manufacturer, other size and so on, but also has 200 watts at 18V 11A
I don’t see a problem.
Oh, now understand, every single panel has 18v 11a, so I currently have 600 watt peak. And then I’d just add a 200 watt.
