How to connect two solar panels together.

There are two main types of connecting solar panels in series or in parallel. Connect the negatives to the negatives and positives to the positives. There are 3 ways to connect solar panels. Parallel series and a combination of parallel and series.

Wiring solar panels in parallel implies connecting positive terminals of each panel together and wiring the negative terminals of each panel together as well. If both panels are rated at the same maximum voltage then you ll get maximum output. Nonetheless it is possible to wire them in parallel. If you however need to get higher current you should connect your panels in parallel.

Then they are connected to the charge controller or to the inverter of the solar system. The parallel connection allows to increase the current keeping the same voltage. The first way i am going to talk about is parallel because this is probably the most common way that panels will be connected. How to wire solar panels in parallel place the panels close to each other and oriented to the sun at the same angle check that the panels do not shade each other and that they are far from possible causes of shading choose an appropriate section of the electrical cable according to the.

Connecting two solar panels in parallel. For this example i am showing you connecting panels that are for a 12 volt system. For more information visit the page how to wire solar panels in parallel. Wiring solar panels in a parallel circuit connect all the positive terminals of all the solar panels together and all the negative terminals of all the panels together.

If we have two or more solar panels with the same voltage but with different current it is not possible to wire them in series.
