Why are the panels shown hooked up in series?

A real MPPT charge controller can accept higher input voltage, so there is no need to branch together for the solar panels. The max input voltage for this charge controller is 100V, so you can wire them in series using thinner cable as the current is smaller.

If you're talking about the panel to get to the batteries, it is the same as the top panel, clip in. Other than that there isn't another panel.

They are based out of the US from what I understand but I can't guarantee were each piece is made. Check out Renogy.com. Personally I am very glad I got there panels and am looking to get more from them.

I don't recall seeing it in three panels. I found this on Amazon under panel screens; perhaps you can scan it. Good luck.

Don't know about the panels, but you can't daisy-chain them as there's only the one USB output from it...

Totally! Each panel has a rod that slides in our out between panels. Piece of Cake!!

Not through the panels themselves but you can see through the parts where the panels connect ( hinges) .

There are wires in the tube that connect to the panel. They were held by rubber bands on my unit. If you don't see them on yours then they probably fell to the bottom or weren't included (defective). Mine came with a cracked plastic cover so I doubt that there is much quality assurance with this model.

My understanding is that 4 panels can be linked together but no more without having a separate controller. Call the company, their customer support is amazing.

I think you can probably just put three panels together and use it that way. We are using all four but I think when my husband put it together he attached all the panels in sections. You might check with the shipper and see if they agree.

Yes it does. It shows the voltage from the panel(s) and also the voltage and amperage going to the batteries. As well as the State of Charge of the batteries. It's well worth the money.

If these panels are connected in proper series/parallel configurations, they can be used for various voltage systems. 2 panels in series for 24 volt systems. You must know what you're trying to achieve before you actually plan the system.

The panels are not pre-connected, you have to buy panel clips at the hardware store or order online. You could do 2 sets of four panels but may need a post in between for rigidity

There are little hooks on each panel and hooks also on the main one to tie rope through it to secure it

It's the panel (looks just like the pictures) which has a small box on the backside where the two cables come out (the positive cable and the negative cable). The cable had the 'solar' standard electrical connectors at the ends. Packed in a custom styrofoam box in the cardboard sleeve box. Pretty much what you see is what you get, just the panel.

Each panel is an individual. You just remove the panels that are not needed and put away for storage.

Each panel is "16". I have two but I will never use them. What price are you being quoted?
