When solar panels are wired in series the voltage of the panels adds together but the amperage remains the same.
How to connect 6 solar panels together.
Connecting solar panels in parallel.
We put solar panels together to increase the solar generated power.
The video will go over the basic installation and can apply directl.
It s all in the wiring.
This is the first part of our video on how to connect your panels in series and parallel.
This is used when the solar panel is stored for travelling.
Then they are connected to the charge controller or to the inverter of the solar system.
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 we have two solar panels with the same voltage but different wattage there is no problem.
They can be wired in parallel.
For example a 110ah battery should never be connected to a panel more than 11w without a solar controller and if you are using a solar controller you do not need a blocking diode.
The first is on the roof.
So if you connect two solar panels with a rated voltage of 40 volts and a rated amperage of 5 amps in series the voltage of the series would be 80 volts while the amperage would remain at 5 amps.
The wedgetail camper has two solar inputs via red anderson plugs.
The rule of thumb when connecting solar panels directly to a battery is never connect more than c 10 watts where c is the capacity of your battery.
