Renogy 200W ShadowFlux à cellules N-Type anti-ombrage

Hello I’m a bit of a novice on the electrical front - hence my investment in the Apex300. I used AI to provide us with a charging solution and have just ended up cancelling an order that I placed for 4 solar panels !! So first things first don’t trust AI 100%
Having bought the the Bluetti T1Alternator charger this connects to 1 of the 2 DC imputs
I will use the 2nd input for a two panel solar array 200W x 2
However, these Renogy 200W ShadowFlux N-Type anti-shadow panels create a critical volage issue if wired in series!
Solution : Two Panels in Parallel
Power: 400W total
Voltage: 36.5V ✓ (stays same in parallel)
Current: 6.86A × 2 = 13.72A ✓ (within 20A limit)
Wiring: More complex parallel connection

My question is simple - is this OK or should I look at using another panel type that does not exceed the Apex300 power limit when wired in series. Apologies if this sounds like a real dumb question to those of you who understand electricity / solar energy fluently.

Hello!

Thank you for sharing your charging solution! Your plan is feasible. Connecting two Renogy 200W ShadowFlux N solar panels in parallel will keep the voltage at 36.5V while the current remains within the Apex300’s 20A limit, which is safe.

If you’re still learning about electricity and solar power, that’s perfectly fine; asking questions is part of the learning process! If you have any further questions or need more assistance, feel free to ask.
