Wiring Solar Panels in a Series Circuit

Wiring Solar Panels in a Series Circuit

• Connect the positive terminal of the first solar panel to the negative terminal of the next one.
• eg. If you had 4 solar panels in a series and each was rated at 12 volts and 5 amps, the entire array would be 48 volts at 5 amps.

Wiring Solar Panels in a Parallel Circuit.

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.
• eg. If you had 4 solar panels in parallel and each was rated at 12 volts and 5 amps, the entire array would be 12 volts at 20 amps.
