    Hi Scott and Yep sure can.

    You could have T junction made up and have one solar array on top of a van or camper trailer and plug in a second solar array via the T junction and both solar setups would provide power for the whole system.

    Just as long as each set of solar panels has a regulator, there will be no convict of interests any where in the system.

    If you were on mains power as well, you could even have a battery charger running at the same time as well.

    Charging D4 battery when camping

    Right that's good Tim. I have this (see photo) ......

    I had been led to believe two panels into a single reg was required, so purchased a good quality 15A MPPT reg & this cable from Jaycar.

    Sounds like you could use this cable in combination with a reg on each panel.

    But I'm still happy because the 15A reg seems to work well with my 120W and 150W panels. And I can still use it if only carrying one of the panels (one is a heavy fixed frame and the other is a light foldable).

    Thanks,
    Scott
