They aren't identical. One is 85 watt and one is 80 watt. The 80watt is also two years older.

I am going to have to do this again now and see what each panel is doing individually.

yep and if your panels dont match up nearly exactly in output dont try putting them in series.

G'day to all, and thank you for your comments. Parallel is the way to go.

Thanks again and cheers, travel safe, David
