Hi guys,
This is an 12volt ESC 120 FA2 Evergreen panel if 2 are wired together will I get 24 volts and if so how, I have posted a question about a boat project awhile back and was told if I could do it in 24 volts I'd be better off. Thanks, Nick.....

    Simply connect the + from one panel to the - of the other panel.
    Then the remaining - from one panel and the + from the other panel goes to your charge controller (or breaker/fuse).
