How To Connect Two 12v Solar Panels

There are 3 ways to connect solar panels.

How to connect two 12v solar panels.

For more information visit the page how to wire solar panels in parallel. The first way i am going to talk about is parallel because this is probably the most common way that panels will be connected. Connecting two solar panels in parallel. For this example i am showing you connecting panels that are for a 12 volt system.

Nonetheless it is possible to wire them in parallel. The parallel connection allows to increase the current keeping the same voltage. If both panels are rated at the same maximum voltage then you ll get maximum output. 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.

Parallel series and a combination of parallel and series. If we have two solar panels with same voltage and power the connection will be very simple. 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. To power a dual battery system you ll need to connect the panels in parallel.

Keep in mind that ac load is not connected in this pv panel wiring tutorial which needs extra equipment such as ups and inverter to convert the solar panel and. In this simple solar panel wiring tutorial we will show how to connect a solar panel to the solar charge controller battery and direct dc load according to the rating.
