Adding another panel

[Munchie]

I have 2x80watt solar panels. Each feeds by its own cable to two screws on my 20 amp sunsaver regulator.
If i add another panel can i bring the cable in and double up on one of the connection screws on my regulator? Thanks!

That is what I did...

Join the cables on the roof rather than making more holes
Use self amalgamating tape on the joins ( and I would advise soldering the wires together.. No matter how good a jointing box is, they can cause problems over long periods of time )

Like jaws said
We did it exactly same just make sure your Reg can take load

That has the potential to create 22 amp in perfect conditions
We have 280 watt and highest I ever noted was 23 amps in Morocco
