Wire the solar panel.
How to hookup watt meter to solar panels.
As you can see in the solar meter base the wiring actually looks backwards.
Connect the ac generator to the power inverter to provide additional electricity in case you run out of solar energy or battery power.
The wires in the top terminal go out to the solar panels and the wires on the bottom terminals go back and tie in to the utility.
Solar energy is unpredictable and you might run out of the stored solar energy if there are several weeks of cloudy days.
If you have a dc watt meter then you can put it between the panels and the cc or between the cc and the batteries.
At the back sides of the solar panel a small junction box is there with a positive and negative sign for polarity.
In a large size solar panel this junction box has terminal wires with mc4 connector but for small size panel you have to connect the junction box with external wires.
If you use a pwm cc you will see that you are getting less than the maximum possible amount of power from the panels and the power number measured at the panels could be within 10 or more lower than what you would read on the output of the cc.
This is achieved by wiring the solar panels to the existing electrical supply of the home.
The following article will show you how to connect the solar panels to the home s existing electrical supply.
Match the solar panel holes with the stand platform holes and screw them together.
A fused disconnect is always used and goes out to the solar panels.
On the other hand if our two solar panels have both different wattage and different voltage then parallel connection is not possible since the panel with the lowest voltage would behave like a load and would begin to absorb current instead of producing it with the.
A backup source is essential for meeting power needs.
If we have two solar panels with the same voltage but different wattage there is no problem.
Second then connect your solar panel to your charge controller.
They can be wired in parallel.
