Connecting solar panels in parallel.
Connecting solar panels in parallel and series.
Should you connect a 3a solar panel to a 3 5a solar panel the all round current will probably be pulled down to 3a.
Typically solar panels of specific or matching current needs to be connected with each other in series.
Connecting your solar panel in series vs parallel affects current flow and is dictated by your installation s setup.
Comparing solar panels in series vs.
This kind of a lowering of current would of course cause a loss of power output and eventually loss in equipment efficiency.
The series connection is done by wiring the positive terminal of each panel to the negative terminal of the next panel a connection similar to the ones of the christmas lights until the final panel is connected to the charge controller or inverter.
