Panel voltage drops precipitously as the load increases. And, most uprising, there appears to be an optimum resistive load for peak power. As resistive load ohms increases, power [watts] increases to a point and then declines because high voltage cannot overcome decreased current.

If you look online you can easily compare prices. I just wanted to point out that typically a 200 watt solar panel doesn’t cost twice as much as a 100 watt panel does.
