You will need a bit more info. The panel voltage and current  (maybe on the back of the panel) 

And which controller you have:

eMPPT3024Z

eMPPT3048

Is it your intention to add the 130w to the 2x100w panels? 

If so then it's a bad idea to mix different types, or panels of differing specs together. 

Also how are the current panels connected parallel or series? This is important to know if you intend adding to them.

I'm curious about why the thread title is "Haza", when the content is about adding solar panels.

I suppose the OP could stick with his current convention by changing his screen name to Solar Panel, but it could get tedious if he has a lot of questions. ;)
