Question:

Hello there I have two go power 190 amp panels on the roof of my 36 foot Journey Motor Home and I would like to add the six solar panel kit to my roof. Can I wire the two I got to the new set of six to make it 8 panels? Istead of Series can I wire them parallel so if one panel is blocked it will still operate the rest of the panels? How many 12 volt Batteries should I run for that set up or how many 6 volt batteries would I need for the installation of the panels

Yes, you can use the Go Power Solar AE-6 All Electric System part # 342-75011 and wire them alongside the existing solar panels you have now. In regards to installation, you would need to wire them so you have two sets of three panels that are attached in parallel. The two parallel sets can then be wired in series that way you don't exceed the amperage rating of the charge controller. In order to use all eight panels you will need one 12v battery per panel or two 6v batteries per panel.
