Connecting two solar panels in parallel.

How to connect two solar panels together.

Maximum rated current 5 8a. 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. 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. For this example i am showing you connecting panels that are for a 12 volt system.

There are two main types of connecting solar panels in series or in parallel. If you however need to get higher current you should connect your panels in parallel. Connect the negatives to the negatives and positives to the positives. Parallel series and a combination of parallel and series.

Maximum rated voltage 19 8v. For example our 115w sunpower solar blanket has the following ratings. Then they are connected to the charge controller or to the inverter of the solar system. 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.

For more information visit the page how to wire solar panels in parallel. If both panels are rated at the same maximum voltage then you ll get maximum output. You connect solar panels in series when you want to get a higher voltage. 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.
