When you want to connect two solar panels to one battery, you must first connect your battery to the charge controller. It is crucial that you do this step first. If you connect the solar panels to the charge controller, you might risk destroying the charge controller in the process.
There are three main types of connection patterns that allow for batteries to be connected to a solar panel. Two or more similar batteries are used to connect solar panels and batteries in parallel. The identical positive poles must be linked to each other with positive to connect the batteries in parallel.
Two or more similar batteries are used to connect solar panels and batteries in parallel. The identical positive poles must be linked to each other with positive to connect the batteries in parallel. A solar charge controller is also used to link the negative terminal to the negative terminal.
Hi Marcus, It depends a bit on what you want. You can see your 2 parallel batteries as 1 battery. They cannot be monitored seperate from each other so don't stare blind on that. If you don't charge the batteries from an alternator you can use the diagram on page 9 of the manual.

To charge two batteries, you may technically utilize any size solar panel. However, the smaller it is, the longer it takes to charge. With an average of 5 hours of sun and 450 watts per day, it will take a 100-watt solar panel 6 days to charge two 200ah batteries.
