How To Hook 2 Solar Panels Together

If both panels are rated at the same maximum voltage then you ll get maximum output.

How to hook 2 solar panels together.

The video will go over the basic installation and can apply directl. 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. Nonetheless it is possible to wire them in parallel. The parallel connection allows to increase the current keeping the same voltage.

Connect the negatives to the negatives and positives to the positives. This is the first part of our video on how to connect your panels in series and parallel. To power a dual battery system you ll need to connect the panels in parallel. 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.

Theses are the diodes that i use they are the same ones that are used when building the panels. For more information visit the page how to wire solar panels in parallel. There are 3 ways to connect solar panels. Connecting in series means joining the positive terminal of a solar panel to the negative terminal of the next solar panel until eventually you are left with one free positive and one free negative terminal of the array which are to be connected to the input either of the inverter in case of a grid tied system without a battery backup or the charge controller in case of a grid tied system with a battery backup or off grid solar panel system.

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. Parallel series and a combination of parallel and series. Parallel connection of two identical solar panels.
