Adding a 2nd panel to a 2021 320 BD

JT4

Hi.  We are getting reading to receive our new 2021 320S BD.  It should be arriving within a week.  I saw a picture of it in the Nucamp parking lot.  It is coming with solar installed.  I have heard the it uses a Victron controller.  I believe we should be able to connect to it by Bluetooth but that is not my question.  I am planning on buying and connecting a portable panel to increase my charging capability and the ability to locate the portable panel in the sun should the T@B be in the shade.  Question is will the stock controller accept another panel?  Or is it better to change that controller to another?  I am open to suggestions.  After the second panel I hope to improve the batteries.  I will likely do two 6v’s but I am open to suggestions and configuration and source/type.  I appreciate your thoughts in advance. Thanks.

Thank you Sharon.  I am a bit embarrassed as I usually search prior to posting a question.  In this case I did not likely because I felt it was more specific being a 2021.  The first thread was enlightening regardless.  Reading through it appeared that perhaps a separate controller for each panel is preferred.  I would prefer a single controller with dual inputs so it eliminates the need to log into two different Bluetooth controllers.  Does that make sense?  I have a feeling a Renogy panel is likely my best choice for the portable panel.  I will go back and re-read that first thread again so I can absorb it better.  Thanks for your input.

This may help.  https://tab-rv.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/comment/138495#Comment_138495  The pigtail also applies to a 320.
