The parallel connection allows to increase the current keeping the same voltage.
How to connect 2 coleman solar panels.
Maximum rated current 5 8a.
This will connect two panels in parallel by connecting the two positive wires together and the two negative wires together.
If both panels are rated at the same maximum voltage then you ll get maximum output.
There are 3 ways to connect solar panels.
Connecting two solar panels in parallel.
Nonetheless it is possible to wire them in parallel.
Connect the negatives to the negatives and positives to the positives.
You ll still need the mc4 to 8mm adapter with a positive mc4 female connector.
If we have two solar panels with same voltage and power the connection will be very simple.
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.
Theses are the diodes that i use they are the same ones that are used when building the panels.
Maximum rated voltage 19 8v.
For example our 115w sunpower solar blanket has the following ratings.
As clearly visible in the picture it will be enough to wire the positive pole of one panel to the positive pole of the other one and then wire the negative pole of one panel to the negative pole of the other one.
