Then yes, you can mix solar panels that have different wattages. But it is not usually advised because mixing different wattage panels reduces the efficiency and power output. Wattage Mixing Reduces Efficiency and Power A variety of wattage panels has different voltage and amps outputs.
Photovoltaic solar panels are devices specifically designed for the generation of clean energy from sunlight. In general, photovoltaic panels are classified into three main categories: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin-film panels.
The solar panels are of voltage rating higher than the system voltage. You have two different higher voltage solar panels, i.e., one 100W/24V and one 200W/24V that you want to connect to the already working 12 V solar power system comprising the two 12V 50 W solar panels connected in parallel from the previous scenario (see the picture above).
The reason for this is simple. Different wattage panels have different voltage and amps outputs. The system always favors the lowest voltage or amp, which puts the larger panel on the backburner. This, in turn, reduces the overall efficiency and power output of your solar panel array.
